1
Form the Patties
In a bowl, mix the Angus beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 4 oz each.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain juices.

3
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the sesame seed buns in half and toast them on the skillet or grill until golden brown.
4
Add Toppings
Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of smoked mozzarella on each patty. Drizzle with pepperoni BBQ sauce and add basil pesto on the bottom half of each bun.
5
Finish the Burger
Place the cooked patties on the bun halves with the sauces, add pepperoncini peppers on top, and cover with the top half of the bun.

6
Plate the Meal
Serve the smash burgers with your choice of fries or a side salad. Enjoy!
