How to Make This Triple-Decker Buffalo Smash Burger With Blue Cheese Mayo
Ready to level up your smash burger game? Omaha Steaks Smash Burgers are pre-smashed and go from freezer to grill to bun in five minutes. No thawing, no pressing, no stressing – just bold, beefy flavor that’s Built for the Grill™.
1. Get Saucy, the Buffalo Way
Buffalo sauce isn’t just for wings; it’s the secret weapon your burger craves. It combines heat, sweetness, and buttery richness to create a bold, tangy flavor.
In a small sauce pot, combine hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground dry mustard, black pepper, and honey. Whisk until fully incorporated, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for two minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter until it’s fully melted and emulsified. Set the sauce aside until you are ready to use it.
2. The Coolest Sauce in the Stack
Blue cheese mayonnaise adds a rich, tangy cool-down that lets the Buffalo sauce shine without overwhelming the taste buds. In a medium bowl, combine blue cheese crumbles, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, kosher salt, and hot sauce. Stir until well combined, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Smash Burgers Built for the Grill™
Let’s get grilling with the star of the show: Omaha Steaks Smash Burgers! These pre-smashed burgers go from freezer to grill with no thawing needed.
Preheat your grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, direct heat. While it’s heating up, lightly season both sides of the frozen burger patty with Omaha Steaks Seasoning.
Place the frozen patties on the grill for about three minutes, then flip the burgers and spoon Buffalo sauce over each patty. Grill for one more minute, then top each patty with a slice of American cheese. Continue cooking for another minute, until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to perfection.
While the burgers finish, spread store-bought mayonnaise on each bun and place the buns mayo-side down on the grill. Toast the buns until golden brown, about 30 to 45 seconds.
Let’s build your smash burger stack! Place three smash burgers on the bottom bun, top with blue cheese mayonnaise, and finish with the top bun. Serve with a side of Buffalo sauce and savor the flavor.
