Alabama Beach Shack Burgers Recipes

SHAKE SHACK-STYLE BURGERS

Steps:

• Puree the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickles and brine, sugar and cayenne in a mini food processor or blender until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Form the beef into 4 pucks, about 2 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes.
• Melt the butter on a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Open the buns and place open-side down on the griddle. Cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Wipe off the griddle. Increase the heat to medium high and brush with the vegetable oil. Working in two batches, transfer the patties to the griddle, about 3 inches apart, and press firmly with a large spatula (or two small spatulas) to flatten into very thin patties. Cook, pressing the edges of the patties, about 20 seconds. Season each patty generously with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the edges are crisp and the beef is browned, 1 to 1 1/2 more minutes. Flip the patties; season with more salt and black pepper and top each with 1 cheese slice. Continue cooking until the cheese melts around the edges and the burger is cooked through, about 1 more minute.
• Spread the mayonnaise sauce on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the buns with the tomatoes and lettuce.

THE SHACKBURGER BY MARK ROSATI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• 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. Create the Shack sauce with the provided ingredients.
• Spoon the sauce onto the top bun.
• Increase the heat to medium and heat the griddle until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Evenly sprinkle 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 (8 mm) 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 2 ½ 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.
• Add a piece of the lettuce and two slices of tomato. Transfer the cheeseburgers to the prepared buns.
• Enjoy.
