Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 4 pieces Burger buns (dairy-free)
- 4 tbsp Vegan mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 12 slices Pickle slices
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp Neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, but do not pack the meat tightly.
Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Place 1 or 2 beef balls in the skillet, depending on the size of your skillet and allow space for smashing.
Using a metal spatula or a burger press, smash the meat balls down into patties, about 1/4 inch thick.
Season the patties with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges are brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the patties and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and juicy.
Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on the cut side of each bottom bun.
Place the lettuce leaf, followed by the patty, and add a generous amount of ketchup on top.
Add 3 pickle slices, one or two tomato slices, and top with the other half of the bun.
Repeat the process with the remaining patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free classic smash burger!
