Crispy Caramelized Onion Smash Burgers
Sizzling lean beef patties smashed onto a hot griddle with sweet caramelized onions and melted sharp cheddar for a savory, golden-crusted bite.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz 93% lean ground beef
0.5 medium yellow onion
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 slice sharp cheddar cheese
2 large butter lettuce leaves
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp yellow mustard
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the yellow onion into uniform half-moons for even caramelization.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, cooking the onions until they are soft and deeply golden brown.
Divide the lean ground beef into two loosely packed balls, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep it tender.
Wipe the skillet clean and increase the heat to medium-high until it is nearly smoking.
Place the beef balls in the skillet and use a heavy spatula to smash them down into very thin patties with jagged edges.
Season the patties generously with sea salt and black pepper, then sear for 2 minutes until a dark, crispy crust forms.
Flip the patties and immediately top with the warm caramelized onions and the sharp cheddar cheese.
Cook for 1 more minute until the cheese is beautifully melted, then serve the patties stacked inside crisp butter lettuce leaves with yellow mustard.
