📝 Preparation Steps
1
Portion Beef Patties:
2
Divide beef into 8 even portions, about 3 oz each. Loosely Roll them into balls then cover and refrigerate while preparing remaining ingredients (you can prep and refrigerate the balls of meat 1-2 days ahead). The meat must be cold when it hits the grill.
3
Prep Toppings and Buns:
4
Remove wilted leaves from lettuce to keep it crunchy then finely shred lettuce. Slice tomatoes, onions, and pickles.
5
Butter and toast buns over medium heat until golden on the buttered side.
6
Cook the Patties:
7
Increase griddle to medium/high heat. Place 2-4 burger balls onto a hot griddle. Working quickly, place a square of parchment paper over the meat and use a burger press or spatula to firmly smash straight down into a thin patty.
8
Once patties are smashed, peel back and discard parchment papers and season patties with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add 1/2 teaspoon of burger sauce. Cook ⏱️ 2 minutes on the first side or until seared and juices start to come to the surface.

Scrape under the burger with metal spatula facing down at a 45˚ angle to get under the caramelized part and flip. Cook another ⏱️ 1 minute. Top half of the patties with sliced cheese and cover cheese with the second patty. Repeat with remaining burgers and transfer them to a platter as they finish cooking.
