Total time

20 Min

Ingredients

• 1lb 80/20 ground beef, split into 3 1/3 lb balls
• Salt and cracked black pepper
• 3 slices american cheese

Burger Sauce:

• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• 1 tsp pickle juice
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ⅛ tsp cayenne
• ¼ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp MSG

To assemble:

• 1 brioche bun, lightly toasted
• 1 tomato, sliced
• Lettuce leaves, washed and dried

Instructions

1. Stir together all the ingredients for the burger sauce and taste for seasoning, it should be tangy, well seasoned and a little acidic from the pickle juice.
2. Heat a large cast iron pan over high heat until it's smoking hot. Place one portion of beef into the pan then a square piece of parchment paper about 6 inches wide on top of the beef ball, this will help press the smash patty without sticking. Press the patty down firmly with a heavy press or another pan or heavy spatula so that you have a thin flat patty.
3. Season the patty with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, let the patty cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges are crisping and juices start to pool on top of the patty. Flip and immediately top with a piece of american cheese, let the cheese melt for just a moment then remove the patty and repeat the process with all three portions of beef.
4. Assemble your burger: Spread some sauce on both sides of the bun, stack the three patties with cheese, then one slice of tomato, a piece of lettuce then the top bun. Enjoy immediately with plenty of napkins.
