Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all Glaze ingredients. Simmer until the liquid reduces to a syrupy consistency, about 8 minutes, then set aside.
Divide the Beef into four equal portions and roll into loose balls. Keep chilled until ready to cook.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Place the Beef balls on the surface and smash immediately with a heavy spatula to create a thin, lacy crust.
Sear for 2 minutes without moving, flip, and brush the cooked side with the Glaze. Cook for 1 minute more and serve on toasted Brioche buns.
