If you love a good burger, the Steak and Shake Garlic Double Steakburger is a must-try. With perfectly seasoned beef patties, melted American cheese, and garlic butter-toasted buns, this burger is a delicious treat that’s easy to make at home.
INGREDIENTS
- Ground beef chuck: 1 1/2 pounds, for juicy and flavorful patties.
- Burger Seasoning:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- Garlic Butter:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- American cheese: 8 slices, for that classic burger taste.
- Hamburger buns: 4, to hold all the deliciousness together.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1: Prepare Beef Patties
- Divide the ground beef chuck into 8 small balls. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, onion salt, and garlic salt to make the burger seasoning.
- Step 2: Make Garlic Butter
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Heat the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant. This garlic butter will add a wonderful flavor to your burger buns and patties.
- Step 3: Toast Buns
- Brush the garlic butter onto the hamburger buns. Toast the buns on a skillet until they begin to brown. This step adds a nice, crispy texture to your buns.
- Step 4: Season and Cook Patties
- Brush a small amount of the garlic butter onto each ground beef ball and sprinkle with garlic salt. Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Place the ground beef balls on the heated surface and press them into thin patties with a spatula. Season the patties with the prepared salt mixture. Flip the burgers when one side is cooked, and add a slice of American cheese to each patty.
- Step 5: Assemble Burgers
- Stack half of the burger patties on top of the other to create double patties. Place the patties onto the prepared buns. Dress the burgers with your desired toppings and enjoy your delicious Steak and Shake Garlic Double Steakburger!
Serving and Storage Tips
- Serve the burgers hot, straight from the grill or skillet, with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions.
- Pair your Steak and Shake Garlic Double Steakburger with crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- If you have leftover patties, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
- For a fun twist, try using different types of cheese like cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack instead of American cheese.
Helpful Notes
- Using ground beef chuck with a higher fat content (80/20) will give you juicier and more flavorful patties.
- Make sure your skillet or grill is hot before cooking the patties to get a nice sear and lock in the juices.
- Brushing the buns with garlic butter before toasting adds an extra layer of flavor that makes these burgers stand out.
