The Omaha Steaks Smash Burger has been announced by the US-based butcher as a premium, high-quality burger patty option for consumers that builds on the popularity of smash burgers in the market. The burger was developed over the course of 18 months and measures in at 7mm in thickness with a recipe that includes 100% Omaha Steaks aged beef. The burger is suited for going straight from the freezer to a bun after just five-minutes of cooking with crispy, griddle-inspired results for consumers to enjoy.
President and CEO Nate Rempe spoke on the Omaha Steaks Smash Burger saying, "We’re always looking for new ways to provide our customers with high-quality, convenient options for enjoying great food at home. Our new Smash Burger is the perfect blend of fast and flavour, with a crispy crust that locks in the juiciness and taste that Omaha Steaks is famous for and no griddle required.”
