Perfect Smash Burgers in a Frying Pan

The secret to a perfect smash burger is easy...FAT AND HEAT!
You don't need a griddle, you don't need to be outside, none of that...

What you need:
1. Fatty burger blend (minimum 80/20)
2. Hot pan that is metal utensil safe (cast iron or something like @HexClad )
3. Metal spatula or paint scraper
4. Cheese and bun!
THAT'S IT!!!

I always recommend people buy at least 80/20 ground beef, if you can find 75/25 or 70/30, then even better! If you have the tools and ability to grind your own meat, then that is absolute perfection and gives the freedom to really experiment on making the perfect burger blend. For the burgers in this video, I took the trimmings from a Filet tenderloin and prime NY strip loin and ground them into an incredible burger.

If you want to make a sauce, feel free but you don't need to and you can pick the toppings and condiments of your choice!

Thanks for watching and please feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comments section!

Putting mayo on the bun then toasting it was amazing. I seasoned mine with garlic powder before putting it in the pan. The Berger was just as good but I added the salt pepper garlic powder and onion powder in the mixing bowl. They did need more salt after it was cooked. Added a slice of bacon then sautéed onions made from the burger grease. I’ll never eat another burger any different again. Great video!

I’ve started adding to my moms recipes I learned so much from like this. I was deprived of flavor but she always had fresh good ingredients

I always think of smash burgers as a classic American cheese burger every time I see them. Brings me back to the days my grand father used to take me to a local diner as a kid. You knocked this one out of the park my friend! Thanks for sharing! :)

wiping down the pan between sets of patties...thank you - that makes a difference

Just went to make one for the first time right after seeing this video. I cannot believe how something so simple can be so delicious.

One of my family's favorites is baby swiss cheese on the burgers. Set aside and turn the heat down to medium. Then use the leftover grease and some worcestershire sauce to cook up some onions and mushrooms, adding a little ghee if needed. Super easy, and 100% better than any fast food mushroom swiss burger.

one method i've seen for the burger sauce is to grate onions very finely and mix them into the sauce, and add like a teaspoon on top of the patty before flipping it. What that's gonna do is give more flavor to the burger by caranelizing the onion and letting the patty absorb the flavor directly.

I guess Tom got jealous of Bert's Cooking Channel had to start his own.😂

From the UK. Love English mustard with everything. That was some amount of mustard. Making your smash burger for dinner. Will definitely be putting some English mustard on the bad boys ❤

Yo dude. I made these last night and they were by far the best smash burgers I have made at home. Thanks so much for the vid. I didn’t put the onion on, and am slightly regretting that. Will add next time. The mayo toasted buns are great, and you are right - they get hot! Oh I added a habanero hot sauce instead of Cholula but no big change. Thanks again. ❤

Laying here. Nearly 11pm in 🇬🇧 with a broken ankle. You’re making me go out in the morning and hobble along to get the gear 😂

Very good video. I have done both smash and without smashing it. You are right the smash burger, cooks, faster, crusty and tasty.
cheddar cheese is my favorite cheese however when it comes to a hamburger. American cheese is the best. Also, I’m happy with just putting tomatoes on my burger, but like you said you can put any topping you want.
