Method
To make Special Sauce:
- Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well
- Store in fridge until ready to use.
To make burgers:
- Heat up cast iron skillet or steel pan, takes about 5 minutes to preheat.
- Add teaspoon of oil to pan and coat pan.
- Turn up the heat of your pan until it is smoking.
- Add spherical ball of portioned ground beef to skillet and use a metal spatula to press down until patty is under 1/2-inch thick. It you are having trouble getting burger flat you can use a mug to press down on the spatula. If patty is sticking to spatula place a piece of parchment paper on top of your ground beef before flattening with spatula. It may be easier to cook patties one at a time depending on size of skillet but try not to overcrowd your pan.
- Cook on high without moving, you want to develop the signature golden brown crust that smash burgers have. This should take about 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully slide spatula under patty and flip, add your cheese once flipped.
- In another pan, you may toast your buns by putting a teaspoon of oil in a frying pan and toasting the soft side of the bun.
- Cook patty until desired doneness and transfer patties to bun. You may stack multiple patties on top of each other if desired.
- On your toasted bun add shredded lettuce on bottom, add patties on top, top patties with pickles and spread special sauce on top bun and assemble.
