SHAKE SHACK BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the ingredients for the special sauce to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl or squeeze bottle and set aside.
• Brush the buns (top and bottom) with butter. Warm a pan over medium heat. When warmed, add the buns, toasting them for about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until you've worked your way through all of the buns
• If you're grinding your own meat, add the cubed sirloin and chuck to a bowl and combine it. With the largest meat grinder attachment on your mixer or grinder, turn the speed to #4 and add the meat. Repeat until you've worked your way through all of the meat. Change the grinder attachment to the smaller attachment. Pass the meat through the grinder once more. Divide the meat into 4 ounce mounds. You should end up with 8 mounds of meat.
• If you're using store-bought ground beef, no biggie. Divide the meat into 4 ounce mounds.
• Form pucks that are about 2 inches tall and 2-inches wide. Sprinkle the tops with a few pinches of salt and pepper.
• Place a cast iron skillet over moderately high heat. Add a few teaspoons of oil and when glistening and VERY hot, add the meat puck. Allow to cook for about 30 seconds and then smash it with a spatula until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Cook for about 1 minute and then add a few pinches of salt and pepper to the top. Then, flip. Add the slice of cheese and cook for an additional minute or so. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining pucks of meat.
• Squeeze a bit of special sauce on both sides of the bun. Add a few pieces of leafy green lettuce, a few slices of tomatoes and then top with the burger patty. Add a few pickles and then add the other half of the bun on top. Repeat until you've made all of the hamburgers.
• Serve with baked crinkle fries, ketchup and mustard on the side.

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.
