Steps

1. Heat griddle/skillet until very hot.
2. Form 4 loose balls and smash hard.
3. Season with **Ironclad Steak Rub**.
4. Flip once when edges brown; cook 60–90 seconds more.

Pepper and savory balance drive crust and make ground beef taste more intense.

Pro tip

Smash once. Don’t press after the flip or you lose juice.
