Instructions

  • Prepare the corn relish. Add the white onion, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a bowl and toss to coat. Add the corn, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dill. Toss to combine. Set aside.

  • Heat a cast iron pan over high heat or heat a flat top to at least 450ºF.
  • Add the ground beef and salt to a large bowl. Gently mix the ingredients and separate them into 2 oz. balls, it’s easiest to measure these with a food scale. Set aside.
  • Place two patties in the pan and use a stiff metal spatula to press each burger to about ¼-inch thick. Cook for 30 seconds and flip the burger. Immediately add a slice of cheese to each patty. Cook for 30 seconds and immediately remove from the pan.

Notes

  • For optimal flavor, we recommend using high-quality ground beef.
  • We don’t add any moisture or oil to the pan before searing to get the crispy edges of the smash burger.
  • We cook 2 patties at a time to avoid crowding the pan.
  • There will be extra corn relish. Save for a side salad or add more to a burger.
