About this Dish

A ball of beef smashed hard onto a screaming-hot flat-top, creating a thin, lacy, deeply caramelized crust.

History & Origin

A diner and drive-in technique going back decades, smash burgers had a viral resurgence in the 2020s as home cooks discovered the Maillard-heavy crust a simple spatula could produce.
