• 1 tsp kosher salt
• Fresh black pepper (10 cracks)
• 6 six-inch flour tortillas

1. Prep the Beef

• Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl.

• Divide beef into 2.5 oz balls. Handle gently.
• Place on a plate and refrigerate.

2. Preheat and Smash

• Once smoking hot, place each beef ball onto the surface.
• Immediately top each ball with a tortilla.
• Press down very firmly with a burger press until flattened.
• Cook for 1 minute, then press again to release fat.
• Let cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes.

3. Flip and Finish
