Perfect Smash Burger
July 14, 2025
As with all smash burgers, achieving smash success relies heavily upon using the right burger press. A non-ridged press allows you to apply even pressure and create those trademark thin and crispy patties without a lot of grease buildup. But in the case of our Perfect Smash Burger, success also comes in the form of our L&B Smash Ready Burger Ground Beef.
These fresh hamburger patties are made with a blend of ground beef chuck and short rib for extra-meaty flavor and a hefty dose of marbling, which keeps the meat nice and juicy. They’re excellent for flat-top cooking (a.k.a. smash success). Paired with the super easy, exceptionally creamy, crazy-tangy burger sauce made with five simple pantry ingredients, you have a harmonious, can’t-put-it-down burger that just might make you do that dance, the one you do when something tastes really, really good. Absolutely a restaurant-quality meal you can make at home… which is good in case you don’t want anyone to see that dance.
