At LR FOOD, we offer you the exceptional ingredients you need to make the real smash burger in the USA, just like on New York's famous avenue, thanks to our 100% US buns in various sizes (9cm, 10cm and even 12.5cm), melt-in-your-mouth cheeses and incredible sauces.

Smash burger ingredients:

For 4 smash burgers :

• Pain Martin Premium (4 soft, lightly brioche buns)
• 500 g minced meat (80% fat, for irresistible crunchiness)
• 4 slicesAmerican Cheese 100% Cheddar
• Quality gherkins (finely chopped for a subtle crunch)
• Choice of classic sauce (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)
• LR FOOD original sauce (curry-mango, truffle, or smoked barbecue)
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Smash burger preparation :

1. Prepare your ingredients:

   • Remove the meat from the fridge and shape into 125g balls, without compressing too much to preserve the texture.
   • Cut your pickles and prepare your sauces.

2. Toast your buns:

   • Lightly butter the inside of the Martin buns.
   • In a hot frying pan or on a plancha, brown until golden and crisp. Set aside.

3. Cook the smash:

   • Heat a cast-iron frying pan or plancha over high heat.
   • Place a ball of meat directly on the hot surface, then immediately flatten it with a heavy spatula into a thin patty.
   • Leave to cook, without moving, for about 2 minutes, until the edges are crisp and lightly caramelized.
   • Flip the patty over and immediately add a slice ofAmerican Cheese. Cover to melt the cheese.

4. Assemble your smash burger:

   • Spread the bottom of the bun with a classic sauce. Add a cheddar-filled patty, slices of pickle, and finish with a touch of original sauce for a unique twist. Close with the bun cap.

5. Enjoy without delay:

   • Soft bread, crispy, juicy meat, melting cheddar, crunchy pickles and exquisite sauces create a perfect harmony.

LR FOOD Chef's tip: A good smash burger can be recognized by its controlled simplicity: quality ingredients, a crisp patty, and sauces that enhance every bite.
