Shake Shack Smash Burger

Cook Time 30 Minutes

Serves 8

For the Shake Shack Secret Sauce

  • 2 tbsp dill pickle, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • Black pepper, for seasoning
  • 8 oz beef sirloin, trimmed of gristle and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 4 oz well marbled beef chuck, trimmed of gristle and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 4 oz boneless short rib, trimmed of gristle and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 oz dry aged beef fat, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
  • 8 burger buns
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 1 small head of iceberg lettuce
  • 16 center-cut slices ripe plum tomato
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • Black pepper, for seasoning

Start by adding all your beef cuts onto a big sheet tray and mix them well. Transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes. Make your Shake Shack secret sauce while the beef cools.

 

In a medium bowl, add in all of your secret sauce ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly combined. Season with Kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

 

Take the beef out of the freezer and grind it onto another sheet tray. Once all your beef is ground, make 8 (2 oz) loose balls and set aside.

 

Set a griddle or a flat top to medium high heat. Add your burgers and using a sheet of parchment paper and a burger press, smash your burgers real thin. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the juices start to pool. Flip your burgers and add a slice of American cheese on top of each burger. Cook for a few more minutes until the cheese begins to melt. Remove from the heat and get ready to build your burgers.

 

Smear your burger buns with butter and toast them on the griddle or flat top for a couple minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.

 

Start building your burgers. Onto a bottom bun, add your burger patty with cheese, lettuce, 2 slices of tomato and the top bun smeared with your Shake Shack secret sauce.
