Make your own burger patties with this unique mix of boneless short ribs and chuck steak. They're exceptionally flavoursome, tender and finger-licking-good: the ultimate at-home burger experience!
Serves: 4 smaller appetites or 2 hungry eaters.
Delivery: we deliver to the whole of the mainland UK. Next Day Delivery is available.
Bring the mince to room temperature (10-15 minutes out of the fridge) for easier handling and even cooking.
Portion into loose balls (110-220g each depending on desired size), do not overwork or tightly pack to keep the texture light and juicy.
Heat a heavy-based pan, cast-iron skillet, or griddle to very high heat (smoking hot) with a touch of oil or butter for extra flavour.
Place the mince balls on the hot surface and smash firmly flat with a burger press, spatula, or heavy weight to create thin patties with crispy edges, cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium (internal 60-63°C), or longer for well done. Flip once and add cheese in the last minute if desired for melt. Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest for 1-2 minutes off the heat, this lets the juices settle for maximum succulence.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve smashed patties in toasted buns with classic toppings (American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, special sauce) to highlight the rich short rib & chuck flavour and crispy edges, or go gourmet with bacon, jalapeños, or our flavoured butters, pair with fries, slaw, or a side salad for the perfect smash burger experience.
