These Smashed Burgers are made from premium Black Angus beef from Ireland and have been specially developed to create authentic smashed burgers just like those served in the world's best burger restaurants. Seasoned only with salt and pepper, allowing the pure flavor of the beef to shine through. Thanks to the ideal fat ratio, rich beef flavor, and the characteristic smash-cooking technique, these burgers develop an irresistible crispy crust while remaining incredibly juicy inside. They are usually delivered frozen or at least under slightly negative temperature conditions. Because we do not use any color-preserving agents or preservatives, the burgers may sometimes have a more natural greyish appearance. This is completely normal and is actually proof of their pure composition.

What Is a Smashed Burger?

A smashed burger is a burger that is firmly pressed onto a blazing hot griddle, plancha, or cast-iron pan during cooking.

This creates maximum contact between the meat and the cooking surface.

The result:

• More caramelization

• More flavor

• A thin crispy crust

• A juicy burger

• The authentic American smash burger experience

It is precisely this combination of crispiness and juiciness that has made smashed burgers so popular around the world.

Why Choose Irish Black Angus Beef?

Irish Black Angus beef enjoys an outstanding reputation worldwide.

The cattle are raised in a mild climate with abundant grasslands, allowing them to develop a beautiful natural fat structure.

This results in:

• Rich beef flavor

• Natural tenderness

• Excellent juiciness

• Consistent quality

• The perfect foundation for premium burgers

It is no coincidence that Black Angus is one of the world's most appreciated beef breeds.

Seasoned Only with Salt and Pepper

With these smashed burgers, the meat takes center stage.

That is why we deliberately keep the ingredient list simple:

✔️ Black Angus beef

✔️ Pepper

✔️ Salt

Nothing more.

No excessive spice blends that mask the flavor of the beef.

No artificial flavor enhancers.

Just pure quality beef.

No Color-Preserving Agents or Preservatives

At Gustor, we believe quality meat does not need artificial additives.

That is why these smashed burgers contain:

✔️ No artificial colors

✔️ No color-preserving agents

✔️ No preservatives

✔️ No unnecessary additives

As a result, the burgers may sometimes appear slightly grey or darker than industrially produced burgers.

This is completely normal.

The color of beef is largely influenced by oxygen exposure. Because our burgers are vacuum packed and contain no additives, their natural red color may temporarily be less visible.

This has absolutely no impact on:

• Quality

• Freshness

• Flavor

• Food safety

On the contrary, it is a sign of a product that is as natural as possible.
