Description

The smash hit of the week! The key to these chomping-good burgers is to get the cooking surface well and hot before slapping those patties down, then flattening them with a spatula to ensure they truly sizzle. Our take on these fast food faves takes them higher with a rousing sauce quickly made from freshly crushed green peppercorns, Worcestershire and demi-glace, souped up with heavy cream. Stack the goods on toasted pretzel buns, and serve with a lettuce and beet salad.

Beef Smash Burgers with Green Peppercorn Sauce - Step #1 Mise en place
Step 1: Mise en place
Preheat the oven to broil. Wrap the peppercorns in a dish towel; using a heavy pan (or a mortar and pestle), press down on the dish towel, rocking the pan from side to side, until the peppercorns are roughly crushed. In a large bowl, combine the beef, up to ⅓ of the peppercorns, the spices and salt. Form into 2 patties (double for 4 portions).
