Jr. Hamburger Recipe

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.
