If you have not tried the Steak and Shake Garlic Double Steakburger you are missing out on a delicious way to prepare hamburgers. Imagine combining garlic bread with a burger, well, you get the idea.
Steak and Shake is one of my favorite places to go grab a burger. Many Steak and 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.
What makes this garlic burger so special? If you have never had one of the burgers at Steak and Shake the first thing you will notice is that the burgers are smashed onto the grill. They are thin but have lots of crispy browning all over the burger. This garlic burger comes with two slices of American cheese.
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 are going to also follow up seasoning the burgers with a burger seasoning.
We make small patties, and smash them onto the grill. We also will spread a little garlic butter on the bread and brush the tops with a little garlic butter. Then add a quick sprinkle of garlic salt on top before serving.
Love the smashed style of burger? Be best surfaces for cooking these are stainless steel skillets or a cast-iron skillets.

How to Make Steak and Shake Garlic Double Steakburger
- Divide ground beef into small balls.

- Brush the garlic butter onto the buns.
- Place the buns on a skillet to toast.
- Brush a small amount of the butter on top of the beef and sprinkle garlic salt on top.
- Heat the grill or iron skillet to medium-high heat.

I like to cook my burgers on an electric skillet. If you do not have one, you can use a cast iron pan. Both the electric skillet and cast iron pan work very well.

No No No. NOT a Steakburger. I moved to a state with no Steak and Shake and spent a few years experimenting until I came pretty darn close. Here are the tricks
Grind your own meat. 40% round 40$ sirloin and 20% Tbone SnS patties are exactly 2.2 ounces each precooked so a pound will make 7 patties.
Only season with Kosher salt and fresh pepper. I combine then roll the meatballs around in.
Use a red hot griddle or cast iron. HOT. Do not use non-stick as it’s 1) gross and 2) wont get hot enough. You cook them smash burger style by dropping a ball of meat on the cook surface then smashing it thin with a good heavy duty stainless spatula. Winco makes one for about 6 bucks.
Cook until the edges are starting to crisp. On my griddle I go from raw to cooked in about 3 mins.
Top with American cheese and Enjoy

There is nothing better than a home cooked hamburger —made with ground chuck. I did see the recipe for the seasoning but was going to use the Monreal steak seasoning in my cupboard. I cook mine on cast iron or a very old copper bottomed skillet. Thanks for a keeper recipe!
Dustin
You were inspired to post this! I’ve been thinking for a few weeks now that I’d like to try a homemade steak burger. Thanks for the recipe! I’ll let you know how they turn out!

What is in the “burger seasoning” or is there a brand I should look for? Thank you!
Stephanie Manley
There is a burger seasoning written into the recipe.
Chefshe
Duh. READ her recipe.
Lauren I Kowalczewski
Chefshe,
When I first read the list, I didn’t see the “Burger Seasoning”, either. So don’t be
crass……Stephanie could have separated the ingredients a tad better.
Steph, this sounds amazing. I’ve tried a couple of your recipes and they’re right on.
I can’t wait to try this one.
