The key to perfect grilled smash burgers is high heat and the right technique. The combination of grill heat and cast iron creates the ideal surface for achieving those coveted crispy edges.
Let burgers rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for food safety.
