Homemade Smash Burgers

Ingredients

280g Beef Mince

4 slices Cheese

2 Brioche Buns

Pinch Salt & Pepper

Shredded Lettuce

1 tbsp Mayo

1 tbsp Tomato Sauce

1/2 tsp American Mustard

1 Gherkin, grated

Method

Season the beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef mince into four equal portions (70g each). Shape each portion into a thin patty.

Heat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

A couple of minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt. Meanwhile, lightly toast the brioche buns in a toaster or on a skillet.

Combine mayo, tomato sauce, mustard and gherkin in a bowl.

Assemble the burgers. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce. Add the cheese-topped beef patties, followed by shredded lettuce. Cap each burger with the top half of the brioche buns.
