Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 Potato buns
- 2 slices American cheese slices
- 4 tablespoons ShackSauce (mayonnaise-based sauce)
- 2 leaves Iceberg lettuce
- 4 slices Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Divide the ground beef into two 4-ounce portions and gently form them into loosely packed balls. Do not overwork the meat.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot. Meanwhile, lightly butter the insides of the potato buns.
Place the buns, buttered side down, onto the skillet and toast until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Increase the heat to high and place the meat patties onto the skillet. Using a sturdy, flat spatula, press down on the patties to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.
Season the patties with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let them cook for about 2 minutes, allowing a crust to form.
Flip the patties over, place a slice of American cheese on each, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Spread 2 tablespoons of ShackSauce on each of the bottom buns.
Layer each bottom bun with a butter lettuce leaf and two tomato slices.
Place the cheeseburger patties on top of the tomatoes. Finally, top with the toasted bun tops, pressing down gently.
Serve your Shake Shack style burgers immediately, enjoying the perfect balance of juicy beef, melted cheese, and savory sauce.
