I commented in this thread about smash burgers.

I made some tonight, and thought I'd share for those with any interest. I had about a one pound skirt steak that I ground along side a one pound ribeye. Makes for a great blend. Got the griddle to about 500 degrees. I pack the beef into 3.5 ounce balls. Salt is the only seasoning I use. I spray the griddle with cooking spray then place a ball down. Put a piece of parchment over the ball, then smash with a grill press. Carefully peel off the parchment so the burger stays completely on the griddle.



Let them cook for 90 seconds. Then using a scraping tool rather than a spatual, I flip the burger making sure to leave all the crust on the burger. Then you have this beautiful even crust.



Top with cheese (American for me), and cook for about a minute. Tonight I did a double decker. Grilled garlic Buns with an extra middle bun. Bun, mayo, tomato, burger, onion, bun, mayo, burger, lettuce, mayo, bun was the bottom up order. They were delicious. Thanks for looking.

 
Looks great!
Smash burgers are becoming one of my favorites. :-D
 
I love making smash burgers on my DIY griddles on Weber S670. If you really want to hit a homerun, google search "sum burger special sauce recipe"....unbelievable!!!

Here are some pics I took last season. They were a big hit.






 
Looks absolutely beautiful!

Falling in love with smashburgers these days. Just need to have several napkins nearby.

You aren't kidding. I needed several for these. I usually only make single patty for that reason, but I didn't eat lunch today so I went with the double.

Those DIY griddles look like something I should do. Link or how'd you do them?
 
Man that looks good I Iike the blend as well.:thumb:I love a great burger I could eat 'em every day

Thanks. That was probably the favorite blend I've done. I typically just use whatever I have around, and this was no different. Turned out to be a perfect blend of beefy flavor, fat, and tenderness. I do like a bit of tenderloin in my blends. Gives a melt in your mouth texture, but sometimes they seem to fall apart more than blends without it.
