The internet's favorite burger. Two ultra-thin, crispy-edged smashed beef patties topped with melted American cheese, caramelized onions, and a signature premium burger sauce inside a toasted brioche bun.

Ingredients for Gourmet Smash Burger

• 300g high-quality ground beef (80/20 mix)
• 2 soft premium brioche buns
• 4 slices real American or Cheddar cheese
• 1 large onion, finely sliced (for caramelizing)
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp ketchup & relish (for sauce)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal round balls (do not press them into patties yet).
2. Slowly caramelize the sliced onions in a pan with a little butter until sweet and brown, then set aside.
3. Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Toast the sliced brioche buns and set aside.
4. Place beef balls onto the hot skillet. Using a heavy spatula, smash them down instantly until ultra-thin and flat. Season heavily with salt and pepper.
5. Cook for 2 minutes until the edges are deeply browned and crispy, then flip. Immediately place a slice of cheese on each patty.
6. Cook for 1 more minute until cheese melts. Stack two patties together, place inside the brioche bun with caramelized onions and burger sauce, and serve immediately.
