A smash burger with sauce is a burger made with a thin beef patty pressed onto a hot, flat cooking surface, then served with sauce and often cheese. Pressing creates browned, crisp edges that distinguish it from a thicker, unpressed patty.
Make a smash burger with sauce by placing a loose ball of ground beef on a very hot flat pan and pressing it thin with a sturdy spatula. Let it brown before flipping, add cheese if desired, then assemble it in a toasted bun with sauce.
A creamy burger sauce made with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and chopped pickles is a common choice for a smash burger. There is no single required sauce; spread it lightly so it complements the browned beef rather than covering its flavor.
A smash burger with sauce has a thin patty pressed against a hot cooking surface, giving it a browned crust and crisp edges. A regular burger is usually shaped thicker and cooked without pressing, so its texture is more substantial and less crusty.
Fresh ground beef with enough fat to keep the thin patty juicy works best for a smash burger with sauce. Handle it gently and form loose portions; tightly packed or overworked beef can make the patty dense.
A smash burger with sauce gets crispy edges because the thin patty makes broad contact with a very hot, flat surface. Press it while the beef is first placed on the pan, then leave it undisturbed until the underside is deeply browned.
American-style sliced cheese is popular on a smash burger with sauce because it melts smoothly over the thin patty. Cheddar also works; add the slice after flipping so the heat from the beef melts it as the other side cooks.
Yes, you can make a smash burger with sauce on a grill if you use a flat griddle or cast-iron plate over the heat. Cooking directly on open grates does not provide the solid surface needed to press the patty thin.
Toast the cut sides of the bun and use a thin layer of sauce to keep a smash burger with sauce from getting soggy. Drain wet toppings such as pickles or tomatoes, and assemble the burger just before serving.
Refrigerate leftover smash burger with sauce promptly, separating the bun, patty, and sauce when possible. This helps keep the bun from turning soft. Reheat the patty until thoroughly hot, then assemble it in a freshly toasted bun.

A smash burger with sauce is an American-style burger made by pressing a ball of ground meat onto a very hot griddle, creating a thin patty with a deeply browned, crisp-edged surface. It is served in a bun with sauce; the particular sauce can vary, so the flavour may range from tangy to creamy or spicy.
In the United States it is common in diners and casual burger spots, usually with fries. Elsewhere, it works as a substantial lunch or dinner, perhaps with a simple salad instead. It provides 14.2 g of protein per 100 g, while the refined bun and sauce contribute to a less fibre-rich meal. Choose a smaller portion or ask for less sauce if you want a lighter option.
