Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 hoagie buns
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck (15% fat)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 8 slices American cheese (or favorite cheese)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 8 slices tomatoes
Augmentations
- Saute the onions and mix them into the ground beef
Instructions
Step 1
Dice yellow onion, slice tomatoes, and shred lettuce. Set aside until needed.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the inside of each hoagie roll. Grill in a large skillet until golden brown. Plate until needed.
Step 3
Divide the meat into four 6-ounce portions and shape each portion into an oval. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Place one portion into a hot cast-iron skillet and smash with the back of a spatula (similar to smash burgers). Cook over medium high heat for a few minutes.
Step 4
Flip the flattened patty to the other side and top with a quarter of the diced onions. Now begin chopping the burger patty as you mix in the onions. Continue doing this for a few minutes until the meat has crispy edges and the onions are grilled.
Step 5
Top meat with 2 American cheese slices. Turn off the heat and allow the cheese to melt.
Step 6
Slather mayo and ketchup on the toasted hoagy roll. Add the patty and top with shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
- The sandwich needs to be wrapped in parchment paper to lock in flavor.
- Onions can be grilled if you desire.
