Smoked BBQ Burger

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
The essence of the barbecue world in a single burger. Here, heat doesn't dominate, but the deep, ancient aroma of smoke, evoking the mood of outdoor campfires. Smoked cheese, bacon, and special spices layer to create a complex, masculine flavour profile, completed by the sweet-sour character of barbecue sauce.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare cold ingredients: cut red onion and tomato into paper-thin rings. Tear lettuce by hand, prepare bacon.

Tip: You can soak the onion in ice water for 10 minutes after cutting – this takes away the sharpness but keeps crispness.
2 ✓

Cook bacon starting in a cold pan, over medium heat, until fat renders and it fries crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.

Tip: Starting in a cold pan helps fat render slowly, so meat doesn't burn by the time it gets crisp.
3 ✓

Mix the minced beef: add crushed garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and smoked salt. Mix together with quick movements.

Tip: Worcestershire sauce is a natural flavour enhancer (umami) that deepens meat flavour.
4 ✓

Shape two thick patties, deepen the centres slightly. Brush surface thinly with olive oil.

Tip: Oil on the meat helps heat transfer and browning, better than pouring into the pan.
5 ✓

Cook meats in hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side. When flipped, immediately place smoked cheese slices on top.

Tip: Cheese melts best when meat is still radiating heat upwards.
6 ✓

Toast cut side of buns in remaining bacon fat – this adds extra flavour.

Tip: The smoky aroma of bacon fat soaks into the bun.
7 ✓

Spread barbecue sauce on bun bottom. Pile on iceberg lettuce, meat with cheese, then crispy bacon.

Tip: Placing lettuce at the bottom protects the bun from meat juices.
8 ✓

Add tomato, gherkin, and onion. Close with bun top and press together slightly with hand.

Tip: Slight pressure helps flavours meld and burger stand more stably.

Recipe FAQ

I don't have a smoker, what should I do?
No problem! Use good quality liquid smoke (a few drops in the meat is enough), or smoked salt and smoked paprika as the recipe says.
What cheese should I choose?
Smoked Cheddar is classic, but smoked Provolone or Gouda work excellently too.
