Steak and Shake garlic burger

Steak and Shake is one of my favorite places to go grab a burger. Many Steak ‘n Shake’s are open 24/7, and I love that you pay fast-food prices and you are waited on by a real server. They cook to order and it is hard to beat a freshly made hamburger.

If you have one of the burgers at Steak and Shake, the first thing you notice is they are smashed onto the grill. They are thin but have lots of crispy browning all over the burger patty.

So this Steak and Shake Double Garlic Burger takes a little extra work, but I think you will be very happy with the results. In the restaurant, they season the burgers as they cook, and we will also season them with a burger seasoning.

We make small patties and smash them onto the grill. We also spread a little garlic butter on the bread and brush the tops with it. Then add a quick sprinkle of garlic salt on top before serving.

Love the smashed style of burger? The best surfaces for cooking them are stainless steel or cast-iron skillets or a griddle.

What makes the Steak and Shake Garlic Burger so good?

The Garlic Double Steakburger is truly exceptional. It consists of two beef patties, two creamy slices of American cheese, and a toasted bun, making it a perfect choice for all burger lovers.

The garlicky mixture on the bun is arguably the best part of the burger, as it provides a buttery and savory essence that complements the ground beef chuck patty perfectly.

When you want a burger that will satisfy you, this is certainly the one to choose.

People of all ages enjoy this simple yet succulent burger. It’s a great way to treat your family, whether it’s for lunch, dinner, or even a BBQ with friends and relatives.

The best part about this burger is that everyone can customize it according to their preferences, just like they would at Steak N Shake.

Although it is already flavorful, people can add toppings such as lettuce, grilled onions, bacon slices, or other classic burger toppings to make it even more satisfying.

What’s more, this recipe is not time-consuming at all. It takes only about 20 minutes from start to finish, and it’s made with fresh ingredients, which makes it an elevated version of the original.

How to make Steak and Shake garlic double steakburger

1. Divide ground beef into portions.

Cooking tips for the best burger

• Be sure to cook your patties over medium-high heat. Super high heat will cause the fat and moisture to escape, resulting in dry burgers rather than juicy ones.
• When cooking these burgers, watch them carefully instead of walking away to avoid tough or burnt patties. They can cook rather quickly.
• Resist the urge to keep flipping the patties over and over. You only need to flip them once! This shouldn’t be an issue if you immediately add the cheese after flipping, though. Wait for the underside to cook, and then you’re good to go.
• For even cooking, ensure the skillet is thoroughly hot before adding the patties.

What to serve this burger with

Make it a complete meal by serving this burger with a side of homemade potato wedges and your favorite soda or a delicious milkshake. You can also enjoy it with onion rings, a side salad, loaded fries, or simple potato chips!

How to store the leftovers

For optimal freshness, I recommend storing any leftover patties separately from the buns. Cooked patties should be placed in a resealable bag or container with a fitting lid and then stored in the refrigerator.

If you’ve already added garlic butter to the buns, they, too, should be stored in the refrigerator. However, if you haven’t yet added the garlic butter, you can safely store the buns at room temperature.

What is the best way to reheat a garlic burger?

I suggest reheating the burger patties either over medium heat in a frying pan or in the oven, as using a microwave could result in the patties becoming dry and losing their pleasant texture.

Reheating them in the oven is a good option since you can also toast the buns at the same time. Use a moderate heat level, 350°F to 375°F, and cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side until hot. You can add the buns during the last few minutes.
