Creekstone Farms Smash Burger Brisket-Chuck Blend
What it is
This is a premium ground beef blend specifically formulated for making smash burgers. It combines the rich flavor of brisket with the tender texture of chuck. The fat content is ideal for achieving a juicy burger with a well-seared crust when pressed thin on a hot surface. Each package contains 16 ounces of high-quality beef, ready to be formed into patties.

For the best smash burger experience, divide the ground beef into equal portions. Gently form each portion into a loose ball without overworking the meat. Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. Place the beef balls onto the hot surface and immediately press them down firmly with a sturdy spatula or burger press until they are thin. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, allowing a deep brown crust to form. Season generously with salt and pepper during cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard ground beef, this blend's specific ratio of brisket and chuck offers a more intense beefy flavor and a higher fat content. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for the smash burger technique, promoting crisp edges and a moist interior.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the ground beef immediately after opening. Keep it well-wrapped or in an airtight container. It is best used within one to two days for optimal freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept at a consistent cold temperature.
