Spicy Beef Smash Burgers

(0 Ratings)

The smash burger technique involves firmly pressing the ground beef patties onto a hot griddle, which maximizes the Maillard reaction, creating irresistibly crispy, browned edges while keeping the center juicy. This recipe elevates the classic with a subtly spicy seasoning blend and a creamy, tangy spicy mayo spread. Served on a soft brioche bun with your favorite toppings like melted cheese, pickles, and crisp lettuce, it's the ultimate upgrade to your homemade fast-food favorite, ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Form the ground beef into four equal, loose balls. Mix chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper into the balls.
  2. 2
    Mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy mayo. Toast the buns.
  3. 3
    Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place the beef balls on the griddle.
  4. 4
    Immediately place a piece of parchment paper over each ball and use a heavy spatula to firmly 'smash' the patties into thin discs. Season the top side with salt.
  5. 5
    Cook for 90 seconds, scrape off and flip the patty. Place a slice of cheese on top of two of the patties. Stack the uncheesed patties onto the cheese-topped ones to create two double patties.
  6. 6
    Remove, assemble the burger on the toasted bun with spicy mayo and your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles).
