burgers
Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons ShackSauce
1 pound very cold ground beef, divided into 4 pucks
Our Salt and Pepper Mix
ShackSauce (makes about ½ cup)
½ cup Hellman's mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¾ teaspoon Heinz ketchup
WINE PAIRING
Instructions
For Our Salt and Pepper Mix
MIX together all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
For the ShackSauce
Put all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Sauce will keep, covered, in the refrigerator up to one week.
HEAT a cast-iron griddle over medium-low heat until warm. Meanwhile, open the hamburger buns and brush the insides with the melted butter. A soft brush is helpful here. Place the buns buttered side down on the griddle and toast until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer buns to a plate. Spoon the sauce onto the top bun. Add a piece of the lettuce and two slices of tomato.
INCREASE the heat to medium and heat the griddle until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
SPRINKLE evenly a pinch of Our Salt & Pepper Mix on top of each puck of meat.
PLACE the pucks on the griddle, seasoned side down. Using a large, sturdy metal spatula, firmly smash each puck into a ⅓-inch-thick round patty. Pressing down on the spatula with another stiff spatula helps flatten the burger quickly. Evenly sprinkle another big pinch of Our Salt & Pepper Mix.
COOK the burgers, resisting the urge to move them, until the edges beneath are brown and crisp, and juices on the surface are bubbling hot, about 2½ minutes. Slide one of the spatulas beneath the burger to release it from the griddle and scrape up the caramelized browned crust. Use the other spatula to steady the burger and keep it from sliding. Flip the burgers. Put the cheese on top and cook the burgers 1 minute longer for medium. Cook more or less depending on your preference.
TRANSFER the cheeseburgers to the prepared buns and enjoy.
