How-to
1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
2. Remove ground beef from the fridge 45 mins before cooking. Meanwhile, make the burger sauce.
3. Preheat grill on HIGH and place griddle pan onto the grill grates. Divide beef into 2¼ ounces portions and roll into a ball. Place balls on a platter or baking sheet.
4. Once the grill is hot, generously salt the tops of beef balls and add black pepper to taste. Oil the griddle pan and spread evenly. Place two balls, seasoned side down onto the griddle. Quickly smash the burger down to about ⅛ inch thick using a burger smasher.
5. Cook for about 2 mins or until you notice the meat develop a brown, crispy layer.
6. Just before flipping, season the top of the burger. Flip the patty. Cook for another 2 mins or until you see the crust form. 30 secs before removing from the grill, place a slice of cheese on each patty. Once cheese melts, layer the patties on top of one another and assemble the burger.
