SMASH BURGER RECIPE (The ONLY burger I make at home)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2020
- I mean it when I say that the smash burger is the best burger you can make at home (and probably the best you can eat at home too). In this recipe, I'm showing you how to easy-grind your own beef for extra beefy flavor, how to not smoke up your kitchen (too much), and a burger sauce that you'll be putting on all future burgers for life.

I appreciate the adjustments you made to the recipe for people at home: pre-smashing, food processer vs meat grinder, kraft singles vs fancier cheese. I see a lot of other channels that don't make these adjustments and the recipes seem too hard to make because they involve a lot of appliances I don't have or processes that are overly time-consuming. While it can be entertaining to watch people take extraordinary measures to prepare the perfect food, I like that your method is down to earth but still has a great result.
ahem ahem Sam the cooking guy ahem ahem....
@@adamromero There's a couple more that make cooking aproachable such as Chef John... Weisman is usually too complex to be duplicatable by most - let's make our own hamburger buns etc... NOT!
@@step4560 Yeah Joshua is more of a chef you watch for the sake of watching, almost like those ASMR channels. I love Brian's content the most though, because he balanced everything out to my liking - amount of talking, how much of the process he shows, which food he makes etc.
Chef John is just incomparable to anyone though 🥰
Yes the pre smash just makes so much sense, it’s massive hassle in the pan! ❤
Okay I made this tonight for dinner. 1) I am a chef now 2) This mystical thing called "burger sauce" has changed my life forever
Welcome to the big leagues hahaha! Thanks for giving these a shot, so glad it worked for you. Burger sauce hits just right.
its dressing in sweden we call it amerikan dressing
Bad seasoning. Pepper tastes bad and bitter when burning directly in pan. Horrible video
@@Anudorini-Talah haters gon hate 🤷🏾♀️
@@Anudorini-Talah I've done it with and without. It's literally always better with.
You are a very dedicated chef and incredibly thoughtful in the reasons you are giving. I have tried to do smashed burgers with mixed success at home, and your idea of pre-smashing is both simple and very solid. Love the recipes, keep it up
Alrighty, this is the first smash burger recipe that has convinced me to try grinding my own burger meat. I never wanted to buy that one grinder attachment. But a food processor I do have! Can't wait to try this! Thank you. Love following your channel. :)
I made this tonight and must say that this is another great recipe! Everyone loved them.
Made these last night and can confirm this is how I will make burgers from now on. So incredibly flavorful and delicious! Really appreciate all your efforts to help us non-cooks feel like we know what we’re doing.
I started this vid thinking "this is gonna be good, I can't wait to get a meat grinder", then you bring it back down to earth with the food processor! Best cooking channel ever!
Suprised you only have 2.5k subs , production quality is really good and the instructions are clear. I really like your style. Thanks for the good content!
My guess: just one random exposure to a larger audience moment away from blowing up.
@@janpoelstra5823 Yeah definitely! It's coming!
Thanks for the kind words! I’ll keep putting these out hopefully a few more people see them sometime soon haha. Thanks for taking the time to to comment.
@@Al.Brady. thanks for the support Al!
Oooh - just wait until W&S exposure will explode. It just takes one slight tipping point. Keep it up! -STL follower!
Love a good smash burger! Can’t wait to try. Hope you keep these up. Compared to a lot of other channels you’re making food I actually want to cook - and have! Made the dinner rolls, chicken parm, apple cider doughnuts, and pub pizza. All turned out great! The chicken parm was hands down my wife’s favorite thing I’ve ever made her.
Thanks for watching! And giving the recipes a try! Super glad they worked for you!
Can't wait to try this, great vid!!
Very appreciative of all the hard work that goes into these videos. Nicely done!
Much appreciated! Thanks for the nice comment.
Thank you buddy, for always managing to add "how to" advice when you don't have all the appropriate appliances to perform tasks. It gives me so much confidence to continue!
I must say, that’s one of the cleanest burgers I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a ton of burgers lol good job man. Subbed.
Great job Brian!
Pal you will be at 500k subs in no time. Love what you do, keep it up. Cheers from Ireland!
Thanks Kevin. I hope you're right!
I made this yesterday and it was by far the best burger I have ever made. It really took my burger game from poor to advanced in a single day. I did it on the side burner of my bbq and I was happy that all the smoke and crackling grease were outside. Thanks for making this content!
Thanks for giving this recipe a try
You got me hooked on these videos with the Chicago Deep Dish...best cooking channel on YT.
Well done Brian!
Thanks Alex! Glad you found the channel
This is without question the best burger I have ever ate in my whole life, and I've tried everything! Thank ypu
I'm definitely making these burgers and you're awesome sauce!
Thanks man!
I really like this guy, he is such a nice person and he really tries to teach good technique, enjoy it man keep it up
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it
You’re amazing 🤩 l love the way you simplify things so we can make it at home 👍👏👏👏
We just made these and they are AMAZING! Best burgers we ever made. The short rib flavor is great, they are amazingly juicy and the condiment is killer. Oh, we made one batch of burgers with our meat grinder and the other with our food processor...food processor method won hands down! Thanks, Brian!
B, I can’t wait to try these. My outdoor grill has a flat top that covers one third of the total surface it will be great for these. Can’t wait to make some! Thank you as always!!
Good luck Bruce!
i really enjoy your video style!
This is great. Shanks for sharing.
That sauce was fantastic! The only condiment I'll use for burgers now.
Thank you for this. This is awesome.
If you keep this quality up you'll hit a mil in no time. Great video. Liked and subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Dude, I have been watching for a while now to see if you were worth subing to and yes in fact you have won me over. I totally appreciate the hard work you put into your content and so you earned my respect!
Thanks for being here. Thanks for that sub.
I also don’t sub lightly.
Tried the pre smashing and it worked very well, thanks Bri
Raise your hand if you rewind after 4 Seconds to hear Bri say, "Hey, what's up?" twice. You are definitely the best chef on RUclips and I am working hard to get you to 1 million+ subscribers by spreading the word!!
almost did it
Great! Very informative- can’t wait to make smash burgers!!
Brian!! This was a beautiful burger! Thank you.
I coincidentally made some smash burgers almost identical to yours after reading a review in “the New Yorker. Then later I saw your video by coincidence.
The review was about burger place in Brooklyn that considered their version an upscale Big Mac. So I tried mine and it was pretty darn good, but I picked up some good tips from your video. For my “special sauce”, I used a classic old southern version of thousand island sauce which is a jacked up version known to us as “come back sauce”…the usual suspects of ketchup and Mayo, but Chile sauce, woostershire sauce, cayenne, garlic etc..
I like the use of the sriracha and will try that next time I make a come back sauce. Nice job!
Thanks!
Look so delicious. I'm gonna try to make the same for dinner. Thanks for the great content😄
I just made this and my eyes rolled back in my head. It was that good. My life has been changed.
I made these today with chicken as I don't eat beef... The sauce is amazing... The patty cooked so fast, it took me around 5 minutes to cook the burger.. LOVE IT... Cheap, tasty, quick and way way better than those flour coated chicken sandwich 🤤Thank you!!!!
Definitely need to try this!
yeah baby, looking so good. Thanks for sharing.
The me for watching
Awesome video. Subscribed!
Just made this. It is amazing
Good job on the pre-smash. Makes it easier for home cooks
thanks man!
The pre mash is smart! I’m gonna start changing up my burger builds at my stand now. Thanks for the tip!
Bad seasoning. Pepper tastes bad and bitter when burning directly in pan. Horrible video
@@Anudorini-Talah no need for This comment , great video , yes we all know pepper can burn depends on how Coarse the grind is, looking at your channel your not qualified to even comment about this , have a great day
oh man !
this is the burger brought to another level, oh !
Thank you Brian !
Thanks!
I just smashed some burgers for the first time using your method (pre-smash) and it worked like a charm - like all of your recipes. I just need a metal spatula because nylon left some crust on the pan but they turned out really well!
Wow, in the three or four vids I've watched you have become my favorite. Anyone that knows just how great short ribs are is pretty awesome.
The burger speaks for itself, but I'd like to say that your production quality is stellar and you should have 1M+ subs.
Dude that sauce is legit. Thank you 🙏
Also I used dill relish instead of pickles
This looks so simple and delicious. I enjoy making home made burgers. I do have to have that thin sliced next level tomato inside there too though I love the contrast in flavours and juiciness it brings.
This is one of the best things I've ever made, I am so addicted to this now
I'd love to try this recipe of smash burgers, looks good and juicy, just perfect!
Looking forward to Saturday to make this treat for my guests
Awesome video! I’m trying this recipe on my discada!
🤙🏻
Thx brian just made my first burger thanks to you
Wow I hope you liked it
Made these last night and they hit on so many levels. They had a familiar fast food burger taste (in a good way) but we're so much better quality. I ground in a ribeye that I needed to use as well as the ribs. Sauce is flat out amazing, and I was asked to make burgers again this weekend, which holy crap, burgers twice in one week never happens.
This was super tasty!!
Man ohhh man that looks good.... and your the only person yet that I've ever seen to actually get all the sauce out of a class bowl... most just scrape with a metal spoon and leave half the contents in there... you made my day doin' that :)
Gon'a try that sauce too buddy... Cheers from Newfoundland
Cheers! Newf!
you’re tips for the average joe make you stand out! Other recipes seem too difficult but you make it look easy.
Love this weeknight epic steakburger! I used storebought 80/20 and dill pickles for the sauce and it was amazing!
Tried this today and it was awesome !!!!
Thanks for giving it a try! Thanks for the comment!
just discovered you! You are the man! (:burger lover:)
The burger sauce was awesome!
Love the pre-smashing tip. Going to use that next time I make smash burgers!
Almost ashamed to admit that I never even thought about pre-smashing the patties prior to cooking. This will save a lot of effort and cleaning
I used beetroot burgers and combined the sauce from this recipe and made the onion burger. So Damn good. Thanks Bri
great video, for beginners!!! Earned my sub!!!
Thanks for that SUB
That burger sauce is very customizeable, and pairs well with other foods, too! I do 3 parts japanese mayo (different consistency/flavor to regular mayo, notably has a slight dill flavor) to 2 parts ketchup and a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper as the main base and add in a lil this and that depending on my mood. I don't have a blender but there are plenty of spices, salts, and sauces that can kick up the flavor. Goya is an easy one. Msg gives it an inherent mouth-watering quality - highly recommend. White pepper can boost the flavor complexity. Sriracha of course. Honey, any kind of mustard, brown sauce, mirin, worcester sauce, soy sauce - maybe not all at once, but all things ive tried adding in different quantities and combinations that turned out great. It's a lot of fun to experiment and come up with your own "special sauce".
These smash burgers look amazing. Will definitely be giving them a try with that burger sauce. Just for kicks, you might want to try putting onions on top of your first burger and let them cook there and then give them a flip. They get really carnalized that way. Thanks for the great recipe
Made these burgers for dinner the other night and had leftover sauce, found out it tastes pretty good on omelets! Thanks for the video!
Omelet sauce bro nice
Nice, simple.. doesn't get any better! Thanks Brian, making these smashalicious burgers tomorrow with some salt & vinegar shoestring fries. Kudos 👍
Friggin awesome
Looks amazing man!
thank you!
My mouth started watering just by looking at the end result
I am high as duck and have butterflies in my stomach
Just tried these. Had to use Pam spray bc we didn’t have canola, but it worked well enough. They came out bangin’. So tasty.
Huh, interesting. Your take on the smash burger tutorial has something that most other channels lack - tips on how to make the whole thing easier and cheaper for the average Joe who don't make them every day in a professional setting! That's a big plus and I am now starting to wonder why there aren't more channels with good practical tips like these
I made these in combination with your potato roll. had lots of fun and man that burger sauce, its 10 out of 10.
That’s amazing thanks for giving it a shot. Glad it worked out. Cheers!
Doh! This is the best looking hamburger I've ever seen. It's not fancy. It's simply brilliant. If you live in NYC, can I come to your house for dinner? ... and btw, your knife skills are insane!
We made these for our anniversary and they might be the best burgers we ever had! Making them again tonight for valentines. SO GOOD. And that burger sauce…phwor
Dude, your cooking is good, but your sense of humor is on another level
🤙🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love it. I always felt bad about pre-smashing mine. I will henceforth pre-smash shamelessly.
Also, apparently processed American cheese is quite easy to make at home!
I really enjoy your videos, the point about the using the food processor was excellent, to may waste time money on a crappy meat grinder they use once. The pre smash was also an excellent idea one i have never seen before anywhere or thought of myself, much safer with a gentle push to insure proper crust. If i may suggest something i think you would like german frikadellen, ideal for lunch, supper, packed lunches and picnic. Take care, God bless one and all
A tip for the onions in frikadellen that my Oma taught me was to coarse grate the onions then blanch them for 30 seconds, also using a medium rye bread adds to the "authentic" flavour.
Ngl that looks f’in great 👍
Oh, my giddy aunt! That looks absolutely divine!
🙏😛
That's one incredible looking burger mmmmm.
I like the presmashing. I think the one thing missing is the paper thin tapered edges. That could still be done though.
I’m making this today! I only have dill pickles rather than b&b pickles for the sauce, I hope that will be a suitable switch!
Yep, this is it. 🙏🍔🙏
I am going to try it out tonight... wish me luck!
Hey Brian, you got me in trouble. My wife is from Ukraine and has only lived in the US for the past 20 months. She loves hamburgers. I made these burgers tonight and she was mad at me for not discovering your techniques and making them sooner. She took one bite and said, "I love you America". Now I have to make them again this week to get out of the dog house. Thanks Brian! These burgers rock!
Merci Bri ton pain est trop bon
I just made these tonight, and Oh My lord. As a kid, my family used to go to the river every sunday and Mom would smash the hell out of a patty and fry it up in an ancient cast iron skillet over a camp fire. The best burgers I have ever had. Your version is thiiiiiiiiiiis close to those. Thank you for bringing back fond memories.
I love making smash burgers on my round pizza steel on my charcoal BBQ. Less smoke that way! I made them the other day and they where awesome. To bad I didn't see your video, I would have made that killer sauce you put out!!! I will try out this sauce next time!
i won my wife back with a smash burger. they're that good. as a beginner, definitely pre smash. you'll get a feel for the perfect smash as you go. and the imperfections are apart of the process. the idea is to manifest the fast paced line cook vibe. like you've been doing it for ten years.
Wow - Those burgers look Ahhhhmazing. My hubby and I own a little food truck AND one of our patrons was Paula & Brian. giggle.
That’s awesome. What’s the food truck?
@@BrianLagerstrom - The food truck is nothing fancy. We call it Lucky's Mobile Food Emporium. We do children's birthday parties, grad parties, employee appreciation events. We are on Facebook if you want to look us up. It has a grill, 2 deep fryers, 4 top steamer, sink, fridge. I like our funnel cakes best. LMK if you come into town.
I live in an apartment with no exterior routed stove vent. All of the smoke from cooking stays in the apartment except during the winter when it's cold and the hot air rushes out of the open sliding door. Smashing the burger before putting it onto the pan helps SO much!
Perfect burger for me ! Hi from Paris
This is without a doubt one of THE best burger recipes i've seen in a while!
Thank you sir!
Such a shame those 86 vegetarians had to dislike the video :(
Haha so glad you liked it.
Perfect for bodybuilding 😋 fish and rice cakes bah! Blasphemy when glorious recipes like this are about, so quick to 👍 top marks
I made these and they are deeeeeee-lish. I can't wait to make more of your recipes. Subscribed, shared, and watching lots - oh, and I've finally figured out why I'm saying DOPE so much. Ha ha
Glad you like them! I make these at least twice a month. They RIP, thanks for the sub homie.
Gave this a like. Well done. Personal preference, I like to pre season my meat before mixing and ALWAYS grill the onions. But the American cheese is the Gold (orangeish?) Standard for smash burgers! I gotta check some more of your videos now.
Great vid again, Bri. Looking forward to trying a custom grind just for a burger.. We used Grandma's grinder, still. At least 60 years old, easy to use and clean.
That’s cool. I’d like to see that.
Thanks for watching btw.
