I guess you never realize how much goes into a smash burger until you come up with a video idea, do the research, film it, and eat lots and lots of burgers. Hope you all enjoy.
Cast Iron Griddle: amzn.to/36p1B9L
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- My Perfect Smash Burger --
Ingredients:
- Two 3 oz (85 g) balls of 80/20 beef + Salt & Pepper
- Browned onions (1/2 onion + 2 TBSP butter)
- Slice of American cheese
- Martin's potato roll
- Lettuce
- Tomato, thinly sliced
Heat your cast iron pan or griddle to medium heat for about 5 minutes. Right before cooking the smashed burgers, but them on high heat.
Sprinkle your balls of meat with salt and pepper right before and plop them on the griddle. Immediately smash the burger into the griddle, applying firm and even pressure. Lift up and do not touch the burger. It needs to remain untouched for crust development.
After a minute or two, the crust should have developed. Flip your metal spatula upside down and scrape all along the edges to make sure that the brown crust is intact. Once the crust is released, flip the burger over.
Moving quickly, add some browned onions to one burger and a slice of American cheese. After another 30 seconds. Add slide the other patty on the cheese and assemble the burger in the following layers:
1. Toasted Bottom Bun
2. Burger Sauce
3. Smash Burger #1
4. Browned onions
5. American Cheese
6. Smash Burger #2
7. Burger Sauce
8. Tomato
9. Lettuce
10. Burger Sauce
11. Toasted Top Bun

Oops I don't know who you are, but it's time to watch every single one of your videos.
Whispers: coronaaaaaaa
@@andersuhrenholt9710 sure fella I'd love one. Stop on by with a 6 pack?
bro his channel is gonna blow up I'm telling you
Just thinking the same thing
Welcome 🤟 - best home cooking channel
This may well be the most beautiful video on the internet, E. You are citing Kenji and evoking Alton, using Martin's potato buns, getting the terminology correct, explaining the science, and producing (depending on your cheese) the best bite humankind has ever known. Well done!
Thanks John! I had a lot of fun making this one and I think you summed it up perfectly.
Martins potato buns, YES! I like their little whole wheat potato buns!
you just said the perfect mouthful;)
we can't get martin's potato buns or any kind of potato buns in Newfoundland :(
Bleh martins
Its like I'm watching a burger documentary on TV. The quality on this video is extremely high
3:06 The part about the hamburgers being our happiness, independence and comfort really touched me 🥺 Great writing and amazing content as always!
same hear, made me tear up
You did convince me. I've been getting tired of my cheat meals being expensive, unsatisfying and unsatiating so I finally decided to start cooking for myself and this is the first thing other than spaghetti I have really cooked. Thanks Ethan.
@@foobarmaximus3506 What a terrible reply all around. LOL
The cinematics, music, and speech about this almost made me cry watching this, I never thought of burgers as such a pure and beautiful thing
Stewpeteis Griffin
I find it hard to watch chefs on yt bc most of the time, they just cook and never really tell you anything.
But this man right here knows exactly what he's talking about, he's like a young Alton Brown lol
Internet Shaquille and Adam Ragusea will explain process and technique in a very deliberate, straightforward way. IS will give you the quick and dirty tips to do the job, and AR will give you the deep dive you never knew you wanted. Both great channels for people who want to learn about home cooking.
I also enjoy J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, who will oftentimes show you every. single. step. in cooking a specific dish. Don't expect any videos about technique, though - that stuff only comes up indirectly as it is used in a dish. Many of his 2020 videos are shot at home, but this will give you more the perspective of a professional chef.
I started binging your videos yesterday and I'm just amazed how high quality they all are. The video and audio quality are great, the script is well written with great explanations, and the foods look absolutely phenomenal. I hope growth comes soon enough for you because if someone you deserve it.
Where were you when I was younger and could have used all this information throughout my life? At least these last few years are going to taste wonderfully!
I just kind of stumbled across your videos. I really like that you're willing to go a step further in your content and get into some of the more complex topics, such the emotional factor in this particular video. You've clearly put a ton of effort into your work and it shows. Subbed.
Hey man, I just stumbled across your channel the other day, and I’ve gotta say, it’s real quality content. Thank you for putting stuff on here that actually deserves to be viewed. Great production quality, but more important, great content. I appreciate your non pretentious approach as well. Keep up the good work.
The details on the production quality is insane!
Color and all
I love how your older vids are popping up in my feed. Can't wait to try it
Man I gotta tell you that you are an inspiration to me when it comes to learning how to cook, I wanna try this and I look forward to seeing your channel from to a Mil because you deserve it dude
This is a full on rhapsodic love letter... to a BURGER.
And it is FANTASTIC.
This deserves so many more views. You'll get there man, keep up the good work.
I absolutely love your approach to cooking. Following the science behind method, can be more important than the ingredients themselves at times. I am not speaking about quality of ingredients, but merely the amount of ingredients. I've seen people add so many ingredients that the burger gets lost in the outcome. Your approach, of properly achieving the 5 tastes (Salty, sweet, bitter, sour and of course umami) is spot on. By achieving the 5 tastes, you already have a winner, then you add in proper technique and explain it perfectly as to WHY IT MATTERS. Being a chef for over 40 years, all I can say is THANK YOU!
My only suggestion to your videos, is maybe explain what ripping hot means a bit better. I understand completely, but maybe others do not. Maybe a heat gun thermometer could explain or convey that message to them..... then again it might be more confusing.
the music, the speech, and the vocal performance are FREAKING Awesome.
This was a very well composed video ~ I've been watching from the beginning, and its awesome to see such improvement and quality in your videos !! *Plus the SmashBurger looks amazing !
Awesome! I've cooked hundreds if not thousands of burgers but never a "smash burger". I think I now understand the principles behind making them and why they would taste differently from a traditional burger. I'll give this one a try. Thanks.
Just made it and it's definitely the best burger I have ever made! Just wish I had the griddle. Used the bottom of a pot for smashing. Still worked great.
Loved the editing! Thank you Ethan for all the knowledge in your entertaining videos! Applying to culinary school to learn the art!
Cooked my first homemade burger tonight, and thanks to your video, it somehow outclassed every single burger from my childhood. 10/10, would smash again
I'm planning my first attempt this weekend! I'm looking forward to it and your videos have really helped!
9:24 thank you for these thoughtful layouts of text right next to the picture, really makes it easy to get the layering right.
Made them yesterday for the first time, and had to make them again today! Easily the best burger we’ve ever made or have eaten.
Kitchen + Camera + Post skills. Nice one E.
Glad you liked it, I appreciate it!
I first watched this video years ago, and to this day the burger I’ve made with this video is the best I’ve ever had. Thanks so much E
This is some pretty elite content, you are inspiring a new generation of chefs...
2:56. I legit shed a tear when this part started. I absolutely love smash burgers and CANNOT wait to try this at home.
This is, by far, the best smash burger video on YT. Thank you Ethan, I learned a lot!
I know this is years old but what an amazing intro.
I love this type of videos you make ... A huge fan of the these sort of videos. Got a lot of useful tips ... Thanks.
I think this is the 3rd or 4th thing I've tried from you, and you have never failed me. It was amazing, thank you Ethan :)
I'm thankful for the videos you make🙏🏿
Finally someone else says it. After first trying to make "Smashburgers" I never went back to any other method. Pre-formed patties, thicc patties & I were so over!
& compared to fast food chains.. My burgers are Godly~ 🍔
Your videos are the best I just started watching 2 weeks ago and im already 2 yrs back into your videos
Absolutely Stunning Video!! Good work
Much appreciated!
The knife screamed out in horror when he ran it across that stone
Incredible video quality and explanation😍😍
And just like that now I want a smashburger! Gorgeous! Those Martin’s potato rolls are the TRUTH! I also like how the onions go on top of one burger under the cheese, which helps to keep them from falling out. Really stellar burger (and video)!
You gotta make one! 100% on the martin's potato roll train and that little flavor pocket of cheese and onion is sooo good.
Absolutely love this. Keep it mellow
Ethan, I had never used a cast iron pan and I went and bought one just to try this out. I can tell you without a doubt I made the best burger I have ever done. You are a genius. The taste reminded me of a place called Steak and Shake but it was just way better than restaurant made. Thank you!
Hi Ethan, what a poetic and romantic way of presenting a recipe - creating a mood worthy of proposing to one's soulmate. How articulate and may I say, "sensuous" your meal preparation(s) are. Thank you so much for such a culinary experience, Ciao, L (Artistic engineer)
I really like this style of video. Felt more like a documentary than a food video. Keep up the good work Ethan 👍
This brings a tear to my eye.
Yo, mad video. Deserves way more views and likes. You'll go far if you keep at it. Perfect video!
This is amazing, going to give it a try!
Damn, these turned out sooooo good! Awesome video as always
That right there, is pure mouth-watering brilliance!
Emotional factor I never noticed. Spot on🙌
I'm speechless. Have been trying to improve my burgers for some time now and on a whim decided to follow this recipe, which admittedly is a lot simpler than my previous attempts.
Well, it just so happens to be the most delicious burger I ever made. Thank you, Ethan!
In&out burger is the best burger. Nothing compares!
Oh man you're a great artist, a grest storyteller then a great cook
Watching this at 3 am, hungry, wasn’t the greatest of ideas
Who wants a smashburger at 3 in the morning?!
@@Disembow1280 me, I do.
@@ralphmansour9525 inb4 "OH BOY 3AM!"
Came her after you said smash brugers were your go to meal in your Q&A. Gonna attempt this next time I make burgers. Absolutely stunning video man!
This video inspired me to get into the smash burger game. Made a few last night and they delivered.
I think I'm a fan of slightly smaller patties if going with two - say 2 or 2.5oz instead of 3 oz, but that might be because I used brioche buns and wanted some more of that buttery goodness.
I used to work at Culvers. A fast food restaurant. But their burgers are smash burgers and the best fast food burgers ive ever had
I feel like Bubble Bass but.. you forgot the pickles!
Flavor is also the smell, don't forget!
I stumbled across your video... even though I'm subbed, I missed this initial video, & you do a great job of explaining the necessities! 💖👌
Like.. I'd been scouring through other vids on smash burgers, I'm surprised yours didn't pop up for me in the search results on the high side, but whatever!
The point is, I finally found this one, and .. top notch work. Going to go share it with family.
Oh! my god. that looks like heaven.
Love this dudes passion for burgers haha
I love you so much dude,you helped me so much you can't imagine how much.
Tobias Serrao I’m really glad to hear that man. Glad what I’m making is doing some good!
@@EthanChlebowski dude now i love you twice because you were so kind to have answered me i'm brazilian and i live here near the amazon a city named belém do pará and i have been studying a lot of smash burger and i am riding very hard a delivery, I am unemployed, with two small children and my wife who trusts my smashs are very delicious, I was so thrilled with her response that it filled my heart with courage to continue.
I've been watching your video a lot.
@@Tobias270878 At the end of the day, a home cooked meal always makes it seem a little better. Glad it works for you too!
Cute video, very well put together. Oh did I forget what a wonderful recipe it is!
Much appreciated!
martins potato rolls are absolutely essential!
Thanks for details
Yeah, I'm convinced.
Until this moment I have never even heard of smash burgers what I can see right off the bat though is I bet you I’m going to be in love with smash burgers by the end of this video. Sadly it’s past midnight so I won’t be able to run out and get the stuff to make myself a Smashburger until tomorrow.
Just followed your recipe to the T on these… And I literally never follow any recipes to the T lol. They were absolutely phenomenal! The burger sauce was fire. killer as usual, Ethan
This video is true art, keep it up
This video is soooo technical. Good Job.
Awesome video! Made them tonight will never go back
Martin's are my favorite buns as well.
this is why I love "onion burgers"
This looks amazing Ethan! One thing I'd recommend is using a brioche bun with sesame seeds. The flavor from the sesame seeds is a game changer!
Wow, I didn’t know a video about smashburgers could be art. But you nailed it in this one!
Very artsy. I like it.
Dude those plates are sick!
could we take a moment to realize how much Ethan is flexing his beautiful editing skills?
Here in the south, we like shredded lettuce on the bottom of the burger stack. It prevents the juices from soaking through the bun. Excellent video, truly the art of the smash burger.
My ultimate smash burger is caramelized onions, cheese and brown mustard. Definitely use 2 patties. A side of rosemary and garlic tots is welcome addition to the mix.
Excellent video.
I have found one thing that helps things go a little easier. After forming the meat into balls cover them and let them sit on the counter for 30 minutes or so if you have time. Especially if you have prepared them awhile ago and had them stored in the fridge. Ice cold meat doesn't smash down easily and is more likely to fragment when smooshed. Especially with the high fat content meat I use.
And a piece of parchment paper between whatever you use to smash the burgers and the meat takes away any danger of sticking and making a mess.
That looks insanely delicious 🤤
honestly this should be the default burger. i dont know how ultra thick burgers that are practically raw in the middle ever became popular they are so bland and unsatisfying. id rather have a double or triple smash any day. that crispy brown exterior is life
American beef, generally, is ass, so of course thick burgers end up unsatisfying. But if you have good quality beef, a thicker undercooked patty can be just as good in a different way.
I love thick burgers but they are NOT home suited so don’t even try
IMO there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just a different style that satisfies different needs. The texture and mouthfeel are different, sometimes I want a smashed burger and sometimes a thicker burger with a juicy pink center. It’s like New York style and Neapolitan pizza, I’d rather live in a world that has both
I got some fancy dry aged brisket burger patties online. Cooked sous vide at 133 degrees for a little over 2 hours to pasteurize the meat. Seasoned with salt and pepper and seared on cast iron skillet. Added toasted buns and provolone cheese. The contrast of the delicious safely cooked juicy medium-cooked meat and the browning from cast iron was insanely delicious. The way these patties came they didn't plump up much at all so crispy surface area was pretty good. This might have been the best burger I've ever had.
I haven't tried smashburgers at home yet but it is going to be soon. I think they are going to be great but I don't see them beating out these traditional style burgers I just cooked. 98% of all other burgers out there? Sure it seems like smashburgers offer a great way to make your average everyday burger taste great.
Nothing better then a thick hamburger of quality beef with some ground bacon mixed in, smashburger is imo held back by the american cheese which acts as a neccessary binding to form a default burger sized patty
I will love a potato bun recipe !!!!!! Amazing video by the way!!
New subscriber! Loving the videography dude!
Much appreciated!
I realize my panini press is perfect for this. Heat on both sides!
I am drooling now......
I just discovered your channel, I'm delighted to see some critical thinking in cooking. Cheers
did i just tear up over a burger video
This inspired me to 1) actually cook a burger and 2) buy cast iron
I can here from tictok and wow I’m amazed at your work and editing/camera skills great job man!!
ry carlson I really appreciate it, hope you try some of it!
8:20 I want that as a neon in my kitchen xD
Greetings from New Zealand, Ethan. Made these amazing smash burgers and your french fries (with boiling water, salt and vinegar), and the family thought they were the best burgers and fries they have ever eaten. Your mayo-based sauce is out of this world. Your videos are beautiful to watch and the recipes here are the stuff legends are made of. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. One question, my cast iron griddle allows for 4 smashed patties, it was quite hard to smash all 4 quickly directly on the hot griddle, can you pre-smash the patties and then add them directly to the hot skillet?
Hey, I’m also from NZ, and I have made these by pre smashing them, and it’s still delicious, they might not be as crispy though.
@@callumsuttie3911 thanks for the note, I made the burgers again this weekend for the kids, I did a couple pre-smashed and a couple smashed on the grill. They came out better smashed directly on the grill, must be some food/heat thing at play! They sure are yum, the sauce is a hit in our house.
Yep, smashing it directly onto the surface allows more of the patty to be it contact with the grill
Smash burger.....here I come.....
That made me hungry.
Ethan makes you change your dinner plans
AWESOME!!!
Went back and watched this and made some amazing smash burgers for the first time. I used a spatula and a masher for the smash and did the onions under the cheese.
This video deserves WAYYY more views!
Taylor K true and also this iss so different with what he do nowaday love this vibe more
