Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds 85% lean ground beef
4 brioche buns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 slices American cheese
Neutral vegetable oil (for cooking)
Kosher salt & ground black pepper (to season)

Instructions

Preheat a cast iron griddle or heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
Divide the ground beef into four portions and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Place each portion on the hot griddle, smash into patties (about 5 inches wide), and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until browned; flip and top with cheese. Cook for another 90 seconds.
Meanwhile, spread softened butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a separate skillet until golden brown.
Assemble by placing cheese-topped patties on toasted bun bottoms, adding your preferred toppings, and enjoy!
