Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground brisket beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form and Smash

    Divide the beef mixture into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then place each ball on a hot skillet or griddle. Using a spatula, smash each ball flat to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a crust forms.

  3. 3

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the patties and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the brioche buns, cut side down, and toast until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place each patty on a toasted brioche bun. You can add additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, or condiments as desired.
