Name: Green Curry Smash Burgers
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 8 Servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: Ground Beef (80/20); Pretty Thai® Seasoning Salt; Kosher salt; large cloves garlic, roughly chopped; unsalted butter (or olive oil), divided; medium shallot, roughly chopped; cilantro, separated (Reserve 1 Tbsp. cilantro stems, finely minced); mint, leaves separated; Thai basil, leaves separated; Pretty Thai® Green Curry Powder; (13.5 oz.) coconut milk; medium white onion, thinly sliced; shiitake mushrooms, sliced; smoked Gouda cheese, sliced; fish sauce; hamburger buns; mayonnaise; Makrut lime leaf, for sauce infusion

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine Pretty Thai® Seasoning Salt and kosher salt. Add Ground Beef and mix thoroughly. Divide and shape into eight even balls. Place in fridge.
Step 2

Combine equal amounts mint, Thai basil, and cilantro to create an herb trio. Set aside.
Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, shallot, minced cilantro stems, green curry powder, and coconut milk. Blend until smooth. In a medium saucepan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, pour in curry mixture. Add fish sauce and makrut lime leaf if using. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, ensuring the sauce does not burn or boil. Remove from heat. Set aside.
Step 4

In a skillet over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, melt 1 Tbsp. butter. Add onions and cook for 30 seconds, then add mushrooms. Sauté until browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5

Heat a flattop griddle or large skillet on HIGH. Once hot, add 1 Tbsp. butter and burger balls. Press each ball flat with a spatula or burger press to form smash patties. Flip once crust forms on bottom. Top each patty with mushroom-onion mixture and 1-2 slices of Gouda cheese. Cover if needed to melt cheese fully. Cook 160°F. Remove from heat and reserve.
Step 6

Toast hamburger buns if desired. Spread a light layer of mayonnaise on each bun. Add one burger patty per bun, then top each burger with 1/4 cup of the herb mixture. Finish with a hearty spoonful of warm green curry sauce.

Cooking Tip: Serve with fries or pickled vegetables. Don't forget the napkins—these are juicy, flavor-packed burgers!
