Slices of Cheese- Your Choice (optional)

1

Directions

Step 1

Begin by portioning the ground beef into 3 oz balls.

Once the grill is preheated, pour a little vegetable oil onto a paper towel. Use a pair of tongs to wipe the flat side of your GrillGrates down.

Place a 3 oz ball of ground beef onto the grill and using the GrateTool or a spatula "smash" the burger flat. Season with salt and pepper.

After flipping the burgers add the cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted.

Remove from grill.

Place burgers on buns and enjoy your Grate Smash Burger.

    Tonight will be the first time using the bottom side of the grates on my Green Egg. I have had the grates for about 4 months and cook at least once a week on the egg using the grates. Do I need to clean the bottom side before using?

    Do these burgers get that sear?

    Curious on smashburgers. Will the heat of the upside down grate prevent the meat from squeezing through the openings when you smash the burger? Really enjoy using these grates. Thanks.

      A bit of meat squeezes into the holes but sets up and releases when you go to flip them. It adds an interesting texture.
