  • Smash Burgers on the brand new Loco Griddle:
    I cook hamburgers all sorts of different ways, but a smashburger is probably my favorite burger. The simplicity of this technique allows the beef and the crust you get from the griddle to shine. This can be done on a griddle, flattop or a cast iron skillet. Today we will be using the brand new Loco Griddle in this video.

    I’ve made hundreds of smash burgers many different ways. Great video. The only rule I have, personally, is it has to be seasoned with Holy Cow if at all possible. That’s my go to secret weapon on smash burgers. Love the videos, you’ve taught me so much and I’m yet to try a bad meat church product!

    • @CasksnQue
      @CasksnQue Před 2 lety +3

      It’s an excellent seasoning for sure!

    Recommendation for the onions: Throw some salt on them after slicing and put them in a bowl for a few minutes. It will suck all the moisture out of them and you can squeeze out any remaining water left. It makes it super crispy.

    I love seeing how everyone makes smash burgers different. I usually go razor thin and high heat but i am definitely going to try a thicker smash to make it more traditional burger size. Awesome video as always Matt. Cant wait to see more griddle based videos

    • @SuWoopSparrow
      @SuWoopSparrow Před 2 lety +5

      Only thing make sure you put your onions on top, not on bottom. Putting on bottom you wont get a nice crust, which is the whole point of a smash burger.

    • @bleonardyou
      @bleonardyou Před rokem

      I agree with razor thin, but then use two patties on each bun so that it's a normal size. I like three ounces per patty for a six ounce burger.

    The trick of onion burgers back in early days at Hamburger Inn in Ardmore, Oklahoma was he poured a bit of beef tallow over the meat once smashed. That was the secret. These look great

      Dennis, Thanks for the trip down memory lane, as a former Ardmoreite myself I've had my share of Hamburger Inn onion smash burgers back in the 60's and 70's. According to my dad, another thing the cook would do is to smash the patty so thin that it only had one side. Ha Ha.

    Matt, I love the smash burgers on the griddle. Got a recommendation for you. Next time you do the buns use mayo instead of butter. It's amazing, and cooks so much better than butter. It makes a gorgeous crust that's buttery goodness! Seems weird, but you'll never cook buns with butter again.

    • @MeatChurchBBQ

      A decent squirt of ketchup.
      Fine dice of shallot.
      Fine dice of kosher dill pickle.
      I also grill my onion separate. I like the patty directly on the cast iron. No hate. Smash burgers are the bomb!

    • @4seasonsbbq
      @4seasonsbbq Před 2 lety +2

    I wouldn't call these smashburgers. no hot smashed contact with the meat to the griddle to kick off the milliard effect. That being said these are AWESOME. We call them full size white castle burgers and have been making them for years. Similar to the Oklahoma onion burger which I have done many times as well. For the Oklahoma onion burgers I smash the burgers first get the crust going then put the onions down and flip the burgers over and onto the onions. All three of these techniques lead to fabulous results.

Doesn't sound too crazy so here ir the crazy part: can you smoke the ribeye before slicing it and can you make a smoked cheese sauce? Then assemble it all on the Loco grill, I got a feeling the sandwich would be NUTS!

    350 isn't hot enough, 425 to 450 is the minimum and also you don't wany any oil if you want a really good crust, also better crust if you put the onions on top of the beef. Still I'm sure they were quite tasty. No hate my friend, just a couple tips from a smashburger obsessive.

    375 degrees…onion cooked separate…Pam down and then butter now your ready for your burger. More crust on the surface of burger is more flavor. Salt and Pepper maybe a touch of garlic powder at table. You toast buns first. Pam then butter down. Try it that way and you will kick it up a few notches.
