1 soft hamburger roll, buttered and toasted
Condiments and toppings as desired, such as mayonnaise, mustard, shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and pickles
4 ounces (110g) freshly ground beef chuck, divided into two 2-ounce (55g) balls .Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 slice good melting cheese, such as American, cheddar, or homemade melting cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directions
Prepare burger bun by laying toppings on bottom half of bun. Have it nearby and ready for when your burger is cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat a large stainless steel saut\u00e9 pan or skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Place balls of beef in pan and smash down with a stiff metal spatula, using a second spatula to add pressure. Smashed patties should be slightly wider than burger bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to cook until patties are well browned and tops are beginning to turn pale pink\/gray in spots, about 45 seconds. Using a bench scraper or the back side of a stiff metal spatula, carefully scrape patties from pan, making sure to get all of the browned bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip patties and immediately place a slice of cheese over 1 patty, then stack the second directly on top. Immediately remove from pan and transfer to waiting burger bun. Serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special Equipment
Large straight-sided stainless steel saut\u00e9 pan, stiff metal spatula, metal bench scraper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notes
These burgers cook very fast, so it’s best to make them one at a time. If making multiple burgers, keep them warm under a tent of foil while preparing subsequent burgers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
