Ingredients :
Burger Sauce :
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Smash Burgers :
1 1/2 pounds high-quality 80% lean ground beef
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 large yellow onion, very thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 large jalapeño chile, very thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
4 American cheese slices
4 soft hamburger buns, split and toasted
Directions :
Make the burger sauce
Stir together all burger sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Cover, and chill until ready to use.
Make the smash burgers
Divide beef into 8 (3-ounce) portions, and shape each
portion into a loose ball; place on a plate. Cover, and chill while preparing
grill. Cut a 3-inch square of parchment paper; set aside. Preheat grill to high
(450°F to 500°F); place a large cast-iron skillet or griddle on grill to
preheat. (Alternatively, heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle on the stove
over high.)
Drizzle skillet evenly with oil. Working in batches if
needed, arrange onion slices in 8 small mounds (about 1/4 cup each) on skillet,
spacing at least 2 inches apart. Top onion mounds with jalapeño slices (about 1
tablespoon each), and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon
pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until onions are beginning to brown, 30 seconds to 1
minute.
Place 1 meat ball on each onion mound.
Top with parchment paper square, and press firmly to
flatten, using a sturdy spatula or burger press, to form a 4-inch-wide patty;
remove parchment paper. Repeat process with remaining meat balls and onion
mounds. Sprinkle smashed patties evenly with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and
remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until patties begin to crisp
around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes.
