Home made smashed burgers today and it was bloody lovely.
I've made plenty of burgers in my time, but not this thin, nor that well done. Method: minced beef with garlic powder or fresh garlic, black pepper and salt to taste. 80g chunks are rolled out very thinly - I just pressed them out with my hands on a chopping board, then fried in a cast iron pan at a very high heat. They got crispy and blackened, yum! I pressed down on them with a stainless steel pot. That helped to keep them flat and to get the whole surface crispy.
Served in brioche buns with lettuce, tomato, various sauces and fried onion, and home made fries on the side.
