BLACKSTONE CLASSIC SMASH BURGERS



Blackstone Classic Smash Burgers image

The appeal of a smash burger is the way the craggy edges crisp and how quickly it cooks. For our double-patty version made on a Blackstone ® flat-top style grill, we tried several different techniques. While we loved pressing the patties into onions on the griddle, it left less surface area for the meat to caramelize. Our fix was to split the difference by pressing one patty into golden onions and cook one patty plain for maximum browning and crispiness. The result is the best of both worlds: a burger loaded with flavor and texture. We would not want it any other way.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 dill pickles, 1 chopped and 1 sliced into rounds
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
Unsalted butter, softened, for brushing
4 large hamburger buns, split
1 small white onion, diced
4 slices American or Cheddar cheese
4 slices tomato
4 lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Set 2 burners to high and 2 burners to medium on a 36-inch Blackstone® Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and chopped pickle in a small bowl and set aside. Stir the garlic powder, onion powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a separate small bowl. Set aside.
  • Loosely form the beef into 8 balls; set aside. Working in batches, lightly brush butter onto the medium-heat side of the griddle and toast the buns cut-side down until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and keep warm while you cook the burgers.
  • Brush butter onto the high-heat side of the griddle and add the onions. Cook, tossing with a metal spatula occasionally, until starting to brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Divide the onions into 4 equal piles, spacing them a couple inches apart. Top each pile with 1 ball of beef. Smash each ball with the back of a spatula or a burger press until the patty is about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remining 4 beef balls directly on the griddle. Season the patties with half the seasoning mixture and continue cooking, undisturbed, until well browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mixture and top each plain patty with 1 cheese slice. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms of the patties are browned, about 1 more minute.
  • Spread the ketchup mixture on the bun tops. Fill each bun with 1 onion patty, 1 plain patty, 1 tomato slice, 1 lettuce leaf and some of the onions, if any, that were left on the griddle.

THE BANH MI BURGER



The Banh Mi Burger image

I'm combining my favorite sandwich with my other favorite sandwich to create my new favorite sandwich. If, that is, you consider a burger a sandwich, which I do. But forget about the burger, because no matter what kind of meat you use for your sandwich, learning how to make a banh mi version of it, is something everyone should know how to do.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Beef Burgers

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef chuck
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon five-spice powder
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha
2 French sandwich rolls
½ cup julienned carrot
½ cup julienned daikon radish
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
8 thin slices English cucumber
2 tablespoons sliced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine beef, fish sauce, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and 5-spice powder in a bowl, and mix until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Mix mayonnaise, hoisin, and Sriracha together in a small bowl for sauce. Keep chilled until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut open rolls, remove about 1/2 of the inside crumb, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using damp hands, shape beef mixture into two burger patties sized to match your rolls or buns. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Combine carrots and daikon radish in a bowl. Add rice vinegar and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat.
  • Cook burgers over the hot coals until desired doneness is reached and they spring back to the touch, turning as needed, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Slather toasted buns with mayo mixture. Place cucumbers and jalapeno slices on bottom of rolls, and top with cooked burgers. Top with carrot-radish mixture and cilantro.

CLASSIC BEEF BURGERS WITH CHEESE SAUCE



Classic Beef Burgers With Cheese Sauce image

No matter what the story is behind this burger, first or not, it is sheer perfection on a bun. This recipe is loosely based on the original hamburger that was invented and still served at Louis' Lunch in Connecticut. One visit to the quaint little corner burger joint and you will see first hand how this burger phenomenon has captivated the regulars. The recipe, which has not changed since its invention in 1900, uses 5 different combinations of ground chuck and can only be topped with cheese, onion and tomato. In fact Louis' Lunch refuses to serve ketchup or mustard saying it would corrupt the taste. This recipe yields a similar moist burger by combining chuck and grilled sirloin and uses a version of the restaurant's cheddar cheese sauce spiked with lager. Surprisingly, the burger really does not need ketchup or other condiments; it definitely holds its own. The recipe was adapted from Steven Raichlen. Beer Recommendation: Samuel Adams Boston Lager was suggested to me for the cheese sauce and to drink with this recipe. There was a strong, but not overpowering, beer taste to the cheese sauce that I enjoyed.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups colby cheese or 2 cups mild yellow cheddar cheese, shredded
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, halved
1 cup lager beer
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb ground sirloin, at room temperature
1 lb ground chuck, at room temperature
4 hamburger buns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
vegetable oil, for brushing
4 boston lettuce leaves
4 slices tomatoes (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • Mix cheese and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Rub garlic all over the inside of a medium saucepan, add the clove and lager to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add handfuls of cheese to the saucepan, stirring in between handfuls, until melted, and bring to a boil. Add mustard, salt and pepper and simmer over moderate heat until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes; keep warm over very low heat.
  • Lightly knead the sirloin and the chuck together in a bowl. Form 4 large equal patties about 3/4" thick. Season the burgers generously with salt and pepper and put on a saran wrap covered plate. Brush the insides of the buns with the melted butter.
  • Light your grill and oil the grate once it is heated. Grill the burgers for about 10 minutes, turning once, for medium. Remove the burgers from the heat source and lightly grill insides of the buns until just toasted.
  • Place a lettuce leaf and tomato slice on the bottom of each bun. Top each with a burger and a generous helpings of cheese sauce. Cover with bun and serve, passing the remaining cheese sauce to serve on the side.
