Crispy edges, bold Cajun soul.

Simple

80/20 ground beef smashed thin on a screaming-hot griddle and seasoned with Cajun Cowboy for smoky, spiced crust. Stacked with pepper jack, pickled jalapeños, and a quick remoulade — these burgers hit different.

Preparation

  1. 01

    Mix mayo and hot sauce in a small bowl for the quick remoulade. Divide ground beef into 4 loose balls (do not overwork). Season the outside with a pinch of Tuxedo.

  2. 02

    Heat a cast iron griddle or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add a thin layer of oil. Place one beef ball on the griddle and immediately smash flat with a spatula or burger press, pressing firmly for 10 seconds. Season the top generously with Cajun Cowboy.

  3. 03

    Cook 2–3 minutes until the edges are deeply caramelized and crisp. Flip, add pepper jack, and cook 1 more minute until cheese is melted. Repeat for remaining patties.

  4. 04

    Toast brioche buns on the griddle. Spread remoulade on both sides. Layer with lettuce, tomato, burger, and pickled jalapeños. Serve immediately.
