Beef
A successful smash burger requires three things: relatively fatty ground beef (ideally 20 percent fat), a screaming hot griddle (ideally 500 degrees), and a flat heavy weight, like a griddle press or a cast iron skillet. Don’t be afraid to press hard: you’ll need the sustained pressure. Note: For an extra luxurious smash burger, use Wagyu beef.
