📝 Preparation Steps
1
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal-sized round balls.
ground beef (80/20)1 pound
2
Next, add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet or griddle. Use 1 teaspoon of oil per burger if you plan to cook in batches.
3
Place the 4 burger balls into the oil about 3” to 4” from one another. Using a piece of parchment paper, two-oiled spatulas, or a Smashburger press, press down on each burger until it is roughly ¼” to ½” thick.
4
Immediately season with salt and pepper, then add ½ cup to 1 cup of thinly sliced onions to each burger and spread them out evenly on the pan or griddle. Gently season the onions with salt.
5
Cook for ⏱️ 90 seconds, then flip the burger over and cook for an additional ⏱️ 90 seconds. The burger should be well browned along with the onions.
6
Once you flip the burger over immediately add the top and bottom bun stacked on top of the burger and steam for 20 to ⏱️ 30 seconds to heat it up. Remove the buns and toast them in the pan. They should be toasted just as soon as the burger finishes.
7
Using a spatula, remove the burger and place it on the bottom bun. Add the top bun and serve.
8
For extra options, once you flip the burger over, add 1 piece of cheese. You won’t be able to steam the buns, so just add them to the pan or griddle to toast. Serve in the same way with optional pickle slices and mustard or any desired toppings. You can also feel free to double up on the smashed patties.
