1
Make the Tahini Special Sauce
In a bowl, combine tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, water, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
2
Prepare the Smashburger
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Form the ground beef into two equal balls (about 4 oz each) and place them on the hot surface.
3
Smash the Burgers
Using a spatula, firmly press down on each ball to flatten it into a patty. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the challah bun, top with pickled beets, and drizzle generously with the tahini special sauce. Close with the top half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Smashburger!
