Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Skillet

    Allow the skillet to heat for at least 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Divide the Beef

    Do not form into patties yet; keep them loose for smashing.

  3. 3

    Season the Beef

    This will enhance the flavor of the burger.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 4

    Smash the Burger

    Sear the burger for about 2 minutes until a nice crust forms.

  2. 5

    Flip and Melt

    Repeat the smashing process with the second portion of beef.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    This adds flavor and prevents sogginess.

  2. 7

    Build the Base

    Layering helps keep the bun dry.

  3. 8

    Finish with Toppings

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
