Time 30m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

11 ounces chuck steak, trimmed of any large pieces of fat
11 ounces sirloin steak, trimmed of any large pieces of fat
Coarse salt
3 ounces sharp cheddar, thinly sliced
4 potato rolls (such as Martin's)
Thinly sliced pickles, for serving
Equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise, mixed together, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut both steaks into small pieces. Grind through the large holes of a meat grinder. Combine in a bowl, then grind together through small holes of grinder. Divide into 4 equal parts (each about 5 1/2 ounces). Form into patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Season both sides of burgers with salt. Grill 2 1/2 minutes a side for medium-rare, placing cheese on burgers in last minute. Transfer to a plate. Grill rolls until toasted, 30 seconds. Sandwich burgers on rolls with pickles and ketchup-mayonnaise.

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.

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.

OLD FASHIONED BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY



Old Fashioned Burger Recipe by Tasty image

This old fashioned-inspired burger features whiskey-caramelized onions, roasted orange mustard, and two smashburger patties. Top with fresh beefsteak tomatoes and shredded iceberg lettuce on toasted burger buns.

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into half moons
⅓ cup rye whiskey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large navel oranges
¼ cup dijon mustard
¼ cup yellow mustard
1 teaspoon orange bitters
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 slices american cheese
4 burger buns
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon sesame seed
1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
8 slices beefsteak tomatoes
old fashioned

Steps:

  • Make the whiskey-caramelized onions: In a large, high-walled skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize and turn golden brown, about 45 minutes. Add the whiskey and salt and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit until ready to use.
  • Make the roasted orange mustard: Turn the broiler on high.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the peel from the orange, then slice the orange crosswise into ½-inch rounds. Arrange the rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Broil the orange slices until they begin to brown and crisp on the top, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the oranges from the oven and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly. Use a potato masher to mash the juice from the oranges, and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the flesh to extract as much juice as possible. You should have about ¼ cup of roasted orange juice.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and bitters until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the smash burgers: Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Divide the ground beef into 8 4-ounce portions, being careful not to work the meat too much.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and coriander.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Pour the olive oil into the hot pan. Place 2 portions of ground beef, or as many as will fit without overcrowding, in the pan and use a flat metal spatula to flatten into patties. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press the spatula more firmly to flatten each patty even more. Season each patty generously with the salt mixture. Once the patties turn golden brown on the bottoms and the edges are crispy, about 2 minutes, flip and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Top each patty with 1 slice of American cheese and let melt, about 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ground beef.
  • Assemble the burgers: Place the intact burger buns on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each bun with beaten egg, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg wash turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Open the buns and place ¼ cup of shredded lettuce on each bottom bun, followed by 2 tomato slices, a patty, ¼ cup caramelized onions, and a second patty. Spread 2 tablespoons of the orange mustard over the undersides of the top buns, then place on top of the burgers. Serve with old fashioneds.
  • Enjoy!

Forget waiting in the drive-thru lane! You can make a better burger at home with quality ingredients in no time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground beef (85 percent lean), preferably grass-fed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Mayonnaise, for grilling buns and for serving
4 seeded hamburger buns, such as Big Marty's
4 slices American cheese
1 beefsteak tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Dill pickle slices, for serving
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving
Ketchup or other desired condiments, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Gently form beef into 4 patties, each 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick (do not overwork meat or patties will be tough). Season generously with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto the cut sides of each bun.
  • Place patties on grill and cook, uncovered, until browned and sizzling on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, top each with a slice of cheese, cover grill, and cook until cheese is melted and patties are medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Place buns on grill cut-side down; cook just until lightly toasted and golden brown in places, about 1 minute.
  • Dress the cut side of each bottom bun with ketchup and mayonnaise (or desired condiments), then top with patties. Place a tomato slice on top of each patty and season with salt. Stack with pickles and lettuce. Dress cut side of top buns with condiments, then sandwich toppings and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your burger. Whenever possible, use fresh, grass-fed beef, ripe tomatoes, and crisp lettuce.
  • Season your beef patties generously: Don't be afraid to season your beef patties with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook your burgers to your desired doneness: Depending on your preference, you can cook your burgers to rare, medium-rare, medium, medium-well, or well done. Just be sure to not overcook them, as this will make them dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for your burger. Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Serve your burgers immediately: Burgers are best enjoyed when served hot off the grill. So, be sure to have all of your toppings and condiments ready to go before you start cooking.

Conclusion:

Making a classic burger is a skill that anyone can master with a little practice. By following the tips above, you can create delicious, juicy burgers that your friends and family will love. So, fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy the best burgers of your life!
