Ingredients
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef (make into 4 patties)
- 4 Brioche buns
- 1 Lobster tail
- ½ cup Butter
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme
- ½ cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Sharp cheddar, shredded
- Arugula
- 1 Lemon juiced and zested
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp garlic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Prep the Lobster: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium. Slice the lobster tail in half lengthwise and sear each side until the meat turns opaque and caramelizes lightly. Remove from the griddle, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
- Lobster Butter: Place a small saucepan on the griddle. Melt butter, then add the lobster pieces, garlic, ½ the lemon juice, zest, and thyme. Simmer gently until fragrant and the lobster is tender.
- Smash Burgers: Shape loose balls of ground beef and place them on the hot griddle. Smash firmly for crisp edges, season with salt and pepper, and top with Gruyère and cheddar cheese. Let it melt.
- Toast the Buns: Place brioche buns cut side down on the griddle until golden and warm.
- Fresh Arugula: Toss arugula lightly with ½ of fresh lemon juice for a zesty bite.
- Garlic Mayo: In a bowl, mix ½ cup mayo with 1 tablespoon garlic vinaigrette.
- Assemble: Spread garlic mayo on each toasted bun. Add a handful of lemony arugula, then the cheesy beef patty. Top with the buttery lobster.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately for the ultimate flavor bomb—rich, savory, and bright with every bite!
Blackstone Tip
🔥 Pro tip: Prep all your toppings before you start griddling for smooth assembly. Searing the lobster directly on the griddle elevates both the flavor and presentation!
