About this dish

A burger of ground beef pressed flat on a very hot pan, topped with cheddar, pickles and red onion in a brioche bun. Pressing gives the patty a crisp, browned edge, and iceberg lettuce, ketchup and mustard finish it. Smash burgers come from American diners, and the technique depends on high heat and a thin patty. It takes about 10 minutes.
