Instructions

Divide beef into two 4-ounce balls. Do not form into patties.
Preheat griddle on medium-high for 5–7 minutes.
Place beef balls on hot griddle. Smash flat using a burger press or spatula.
Season with salt and pepper immediately.
Cook for 2 minutes until edges are brown and crispy.
Flip and top with cheese. Cook for another 1–1.5 minutes.
Butter buns and toast cut-side down until golden.
Assemble with toppings and sauce of choice. Serve hot.

Notes

Use freshly ground beef for best flavor. Smash only once to preserve juices. Make sure your griddle is properly preheated for maximum sear.
