Backyard Smash Burger
A thin patty smashed onto the flattop for lacy, crackly edges and deep crust.
Method
Season the backyard smash burger well and bring it to room temperature while you prep the aromatics.
Build the base: cook the onion, garlic, and spices until fragrant and softened.
Add the backyard smash burger and cook through, letting it take on color and absorb the seasoning.
Rest briefly, adjust salt and acid, and finish with fresh herbs before serving.
