Hey guys, I'm El Cookerino and today I'm going to show you how to easily prepare these super tasty smash burgers that will make your mouth water! If you like burgers, you will love this version! El Cookerino style.
Ingredients for two burgers:
- 400g ground beef
- 1 tomato
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 2 lettuce leaves, iceberg
- 1 pickled cucumber
- 2 brioche burger buns
- 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon ketchup and/or mayonnaise
- 2 pieces of baking paper, about 10cm x 10cm
Preparation:
- Remove the core of a tomato and slice it.
- Peel an onion, halve it, and slice both halves thinly.
- Cut two lettuce leaves into strips.
- Slice one pickled cucumber thinly.
Burger buns:
- Heat a tablespoon of rapeseed oil in a pan, slice the buns in half, and toast both sides.
- Be careful, the buns can burn quickly in a hot pan.
Burger patties:
- Heat a tablespoon of rapeseed oil in the pan.
- Form 200g of ground beef into a ball, place it in the pan and press into a thin patty using a flat object and a piece of baking paper to prevent the meat from sticking to the burger press.
- Add the remaining 200g of ground beef (also in ball form) to the pan, cover with a piece of baking paper and press down firmly.
- Remove the baking paper and season the patties with salt and pepper.
- Flip both patties and place a slice of cheddar on each one.
**Kitchen hack: Covering the patties in the pan with a lid traps the heat and helps the cheese to melt even better.
Remove the burger patties from the pan and place them on the bottom half of the buns.
Add some ketchup to the top half of the buns. If you like, you can also vary with mayonnaise here.
Add the onions, tomato and cucumber slices, as well as the lettuce strips to both burgers.
Fold both burgers, press them lightly, and enjoy.
Bon appétit and have fun cooking!
