Step 1

At least an hour prior to cooking, start by finely slicing the onion, and placing slices in a bowl.

Step 2

Sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and allow to sit, mixing occasionally for about an hour.

Step 3

This will help draw out excess moisture and help the onions to brown faster.

Step 4

You need to make sure your slices are thin for even cooking

Step 5

Line a tray with parchment paper

Step 6

Divide the meat into 10 portions, loosely forming each portion into a ball, then place onto the lined tray.

Step 7

These can go back into the fridge until about 10-15 minutes before you are ready to use them.

Step 8

Light your grill and place the flat griddle on top, allowing it to heat to a high temperature. I did mine inside did to weather, MESSY😒

Step 9

Place onions in a dishcloth and wring them until you've removed the bulk of the moisture.

Step 10

Spray the hot griddle with a little oil, and place smalls handful of onions in little stacks, allowing yourself enough room to flip the burgers.

Step 11

After about 3-4 minutes of browning, place a ball of beef on top of each stack and using your turner, slowly but firmly press the ball down onto the onions to form a patty

Step 12

that should be less than 1/2 inch thick.

Step 13

You may need to press them a second time to reach the desired thickness.

Step 14

Repeat until all onion stacks now have a smashed patty on top, and allow to cook a further 2-3 minutes.

Step 15

Using your spatula, get a good solid scrape and flip the burgers to cook the other side.

Step 16

The majority of the onions should have adhered to the beef.

Step 17

Allow to cook on the other side 2-3 minutes Or your preference of doneness.

Step 18

Layer the cheese on top of each patty as soon as they are flipped.

Step 19

Have your buns ready for meat!

Step 20

Remove the burgers from the grill and stack onto the waiting buns.

Step 21

Put the bun top in place, eat and enjoy!

Step 22
