Juicy Low Carb Smash Burgers

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat grill to 450 to 500 degrees F. Divide ground beef into 6 equal portions.

2. 2

   Grab one portion of ground beef at a time and loosely form it into a ball. Do not firmly pack it into a ball. You want the strands to still be loose for the juiciest burger. Set aside on a flat surface or parchment paper. Repeat with other portions of hamburger meat.

3. 3

   Place a piece of parchment paper over the patties. Then give each patty a whack with the palm of your hand, smashing the burger down. Remove the parchment paper. See instructions below for cooking burger patties in a cast iron skillet on the grill.

4. 4

   Sprinkle each side of the patties with steak seasoning and salt.

5. 5

   Spray the grill with cooking oil spray or wipe the grate with a paper towel dipped in oil. Use tongs to wipe the grate with the oiled paper towel. Place patties on the grill and grill over direct heat. Cook until desired level of doneness. Rare: cook for about 4 minutes (125 F); Medium-rare: cook for 5 minutes (135 F); Medium: cook for 6 to 7 minutes (145 F); Well-done: cook for 8 to 9 minutes (160 F). Flip the burgers halfway through cooking. If desired, add cheese when you have about 1 minute left of cooking.
