1
Prepare the Guanciale
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the guanciale until crispy. Remove and set aside.
2
Make the Beef Patties
Divide the Angus beef into two 4 oz portions. Form them loosely into balls.
3
Smash the Patties
Heat a skillet or griddle over high heat. Place the beef balls on the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form thin patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
4
Add Toppings
Flip the patties and add a generous scoop of pimento cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
5
Assemble the Burger
Spread the agro dolce sauce on the bottom half of the sesame seed bun. Place one patty on top, followed by the crispy guanciale, then the second patty. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the smash burger with fries or a side salad.
