This is probably the easiest way to make a pseudo smash patty.
So essentially you take 500 grams of beef mince and use a burger presser to smash it down.
I pressed it down until it fit the whole pan.
Salt liberally.
I then cooked it until I started to smell burning because I’m too lazy to set a timer.
Flip.
Cook again til you smell burning.
And Voila.
Plate and pour residual fat and wait about 5 mins so the meat can marinate in its own succulent juices.
Enjoy.
Pics included for reference.
Looks great, but where did you get a burger press able to handle over a pound? The one I have is way smaller than that.
It’s meant for smaller patties but I compressed it multiple times and really hard lol.
I can press that much with this one but have to work the edges a little bit
