Oh man did these Pub Sauce smash burgers ever hit the spot. Juicy patties. Crisp fresh toppings. All with a wonderful sauce that is a combination of just about every good burger sauce you can think of. It’s reminiscent of a creamy steak sauce but it’s not too thick. It’s got a hint of sweetness. A bit salty. A little Asian-inspired flavor. And my favorite, garlic. Every bite is an umami-festival. These burgers are proof that even the simplest sauce can make a ‘plain’ burger something special. Sure, there are a few ingredients, but nothing fancy and nothing complicated.
Amazing Burgers
Making Pub Sauce smash burgers isn’t difficult. You don’t need a bunch of fancy equipment or a lot of time. Just a hot griddle and a burger press. Any griddle will do, whether it’s on a grill, cooktop, stove or even a standalone outdoor flattop. Just get those patties nice and thin and use quality fresh toppings. And a great sauce.
There is nothing but greatness about these burgers. If I had to have one burger, every day, for the rest of my life, this would be it. And I’d be darned happy, too!
Get Sauced
You can use the sauce on any hamburger. Doesn’t have to be smash burgers. Heck, doesn’t even have to be beef patties. The sauce is great. Just slather it on your burger buns and go from there.
The sauce is also great on sandwiches. If you’re tired of mayonnaise on your bread. Or mustard. Or whatever you slather on there. Don’t make a boring sandwich. Why? Why go through the trouble of getting out the bread, the meats and the cheese and whatever else only to take bite after bite between yawns of food boredom? Step it! Slather the bread with this sauce instead and have a great sandwich!
