A beef smashed patty is pressed thin against a hot cooking surface, while a regular burger patty is usually left thicker and unpressed. The larger contact area creates a deeply browned crust and crisp edges.
Use a very hot, flat cooking surface and smash the beef as soon as it hits the pan or griddle. Leave it undisturbed until the underside browns before turning; moving it too soon can prevent a good crust.
A flat, heavy pan—especially cast iron or stainless steel—works well for a beef smashed patty because it holds heat and gives the meat broad contact with the surface. A griddle is also a good option.
No, press a beef smashed patty only once, right after placing it on the hot surface. Pressing again after it has begun to cook can squeeze out juices without improving the crust.
A moderately fatty ground beef blend is a practical choice for a beef smashed patty. The fat helps keep the thin patty from drying out and supports browning; very lean mince can turn dry quickly.
It is better to thaw ground beef in the refrigerator before making a beef smashed patty. Thawed mince can be portioned and pressed evenly; frozen beef will not smash properly and may brown unevenly as it cooks.
Season a beef smashed patty with salt and pepper just after pressing it onto the hot cooking surface. This keeps seasoning simple and avoids mixing salt through the mince, which can make the texture denser.
Check the center of a beef smashed patty with a food thermometer rather than relying on its browned exterior. Ground beef needs to be cooked through because bacteria can be mixed throughout the meat during grinding.
Refrigerate leftover beef smashed patties in a covered container within two hours of cooking and eat them within three to four days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, using a pan or microwave.
A beef smashed patty pairs well with cheese, pickles, sliced onion, and a tangy burger sauce. Put it in a toasted bun for a classic burger, or serve it with a salad for a bun-free meal.

A beef smashed patty is made by pressing a ball of ground beef thinly onto a very hot griddle or skillet. The technique is closely associated with American diner-style burgers: the broad contact with the hot surface creates a deeply browned, crisp edge while the centre stays tender.
It is usually tucked into a toasted bun with cheese, pickles, onions and a sauce, though it also works served alongside salad or vegetables. The patty itself is rich in protein and contains no carbohydrates; a 100 g portion provides 25.8 g of protein. For a lighter meal, choose leaner ground beef and keep the toppings simple.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
