Oven Roasted Chuck Eye Roast

By 1 Comment

Chuck eye roast is often called the butcher's cut because it delivers rich ribeye-like flavor at a much lower price. When oven roasted properly, it becomes tender, juicy, and deeply beefy. In this recipe, the roast cooks low and steady until perfectly pink in the center, then it's finished with a glossy balsamic fig glaze that turns this meal into something borderline irresistible.It's an easy way to turn an affordable cut of beef into a roast that feels restaurant-worthy.

What Is A Chuck Eye Roast?

A Chuck Eye Roast comes from the shoulder (chuck primal) , right next to the ribeye section. It’s a tender, flavorful and budget friendly. Often called “the poor man’s roast”, it’s well-marbled, weighs between 2 – 3 pounds, it’s superior in texture to a standard chuck roast. It differs from a standard chuck roast as it comes from the specific muscle that extends from the ribeye. This roast is a good value and full of beefy flavor. It’s also considered to be a “butcher’s cut”.

Butcher's cuts are high quality, flavorful and often overlooked pieces of meat that you may not find at your local grocery store, similar to lesser known steaks, like The Denver Steak and The Merlot Steak. Traditional butcher's historically keep them for themselves rather than selling. These cuts are typically require skilled butchery to remove from the carcass. They are considered "hidden gems" known for intense beefy flavor and excellent value.

I feel so fortunate that I first learned all about butcher cuts in Culinary School.

Chuck Eye Roast vs. Ribeye

A ribeye roast comes from the rib section rather than the shoulder. Ribeye has more consistent marbling. It's softer and more buttery and is more tender than a Chuck Eye. A Chuck Eye Roast has deeper beef flavor. Is slightly firmer in texture and comes with a much lower price point than ribeye.

Is A Chuck Eye Roast Tender?

It is, if you cook it properly. Which means, moderate heat and don’t overcook it. I recommend medium rare, 135 degrees internal temperature and pull it at the right temperature and let it rest. Your roast will turn out juicy, rich and surprisingly tender.

For this recipe, we’ll sear the chuck-eye and then finish it in the oven. Simply seasoned, this is an easy, hands-off method that returns tender texture and loads of beefy flavor. Let’s take a look:

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients to cook a chuck eye roast.
  • 3 – 4 pound Chuck Eye Roast
  • 5 – 6 cloves fresh garlic
  • Cracked mixed peppercorns (black, white, green and pink)

How To Cook A Chuck Eye Roast

Step 1: Searing a chuck eye roast.
  1. Step 1: Pat the roast dry and salt both sides. Heat an oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Add a couple tablespoons of oil. When oil is shimmering, add roast and sear for about 5 minutes. Note: I like to tie the roast using butcher’s twine so it will keep it’s shape.

Tip: Oven Safe Skillets: A cast iron skillet is a good choice. And my choice is my French Carbon Steel Skillet. Light weight, it's the skillet of choice for Chef's and is routinely used in restaurants to pan-sear steaks, chicken and even seafood. Disclaimer: I am an Amazon Affiliate Member. If you purchase the skillet through the link above, I receive a small commission at no extra charge to you.

Step 2: Seasoning a chuck eye roast.
  1. Step 2: Turn the roast over and press the ground peppercorns onto the cooked side. Continue to sear until the other side is nice and browned, about another 5 minutes.
Step 3: Adding chopped garlic to a seared chuck eye roast.
  1. Step 3: Remove roast from heat and press the diced garlic onto the top side of the roast.
Step 4: A cooked chuck eye roast out of the oven and on a cutting board.
  1. Step 4: Place roast in oven in the oven proof skillet and Insert digital meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of roast, not resting in fat. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast in 1-½ to 1-¾ hours for medium rare, or until meat thermometer reaches 135 degrees, 150 degrees for medium.
Cooked and sliced chuck eye roast on a wood cutting board.
  1. Step 5: Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium. Use a sharp chef knife to slice against the grain.

Pro Tip: Don't skip searing the meat. This is a crucial step in getting the most flavor out of this meal. Searing creates what is technically called Maillard reaction. Maillard reaction is the process where a crust is created. Simply stated, it's responsible for the complex flavors and aroma that makes bread taste toasty, and a grilled or seared burger taste charred. It's a technique that brings science to your cooking skills.

How To Serve It

  • Glaze: My choice is a rich sauce like my recipe for Balsamic Fig Glaze . Just a small drizzle will compliment the beefy flavor of this roast.
  • Sauce: Another option is this Balsamic Reduction Sauce. Another bold finishing sauce that is a great partner for beef.
  • Steakhouse: Want a steakhouse feel? Serve it with a little bowl of Horseradish Cream Sauce for dipping. It’s a great partner for Prime Rib and a natural for a Chuck Eye Roast.
  • Steak Butter: Compound steak butters are a popular choice. Take a look at my recipe for Whiskey Steak Butter.

What To Serve It With

A chuck eye roast comes with big flavor, so I recommend keeping it simple. I served it with some my Savory Cast Iron Skillet Potatoes. Or try this Green Vegetable Medley, or a salad with a sweet and tangy vinaigrette like this Red Wine Vinegar Dressing. As far as wine, I like a big peppery robust Zinfandel. Make it a grand Western style meal by serving vanilla ice cream topped with Mexican Chocolate Sauce for dessert.

FAQ’s

Can Chuck Eye Roast Be Cooked Like Prime Rib?

Yes, roast it whole like a Boneless Prime Rib Roast. Season it simply, slice it and enjoy.

Can You Cook It Low and Slow?

I have cooked a chuck eye roast both in the crockpot and braised in a Dutch oven on low oven heat. Just don’t skip searing the meat first. Braise it in beef broth, red wine, onions, and garlic at 325°F for 3-4 hours until falling apart. Use enough liquid to cover the roast a third or half way.

What Are Other Names For Chuck Eye Roast?

It’s also known as America’s Beef Roast or Chuck Center Roast.

I hope you give this Butcher cut roast a try. Seared, seasoned simply and you’ll find it a great family meal. And is it good for Sunday Dinner? Absolutely great. Just like Old Fashioned Pot Roast, it brings a touch of nostalgia to your dinner table.

Balsamic Fig Glaze

By Leave a Comment

Sweet, tangy, glossy and downright irresistible. This Balsamic Fig Glaze is the secret weapon your cheese boards, roasted vegetables, pork tenderloin, and grilled chicken have been waiting for. Made with fig jam and rich balsamic vinegar, this easy homemade fig glaze comes together on the stovetop in 15 minutes and tastes gourmet with almost no effort.

What Is Balsamic Fig Glaze?

Balsamic fig glaze is a thick, glossy sauce made by simmering balsamic vinegar with fig jam until it turns syrupy and rich, sweet and tangy. It clings to food instead of running all over the plate.

Why Is This Glaze So Easy?

This isn't a balsamic reduction made with fresh figs, but made super simple How To Use It

A glaze of this nature is a very simple way to dress up any main course meat to turn it into a restaurant quality experience.

Let’s take a look.

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

Ingredients

I mean really … could it get any easier than this. Two ingredients.

ingredients to make balsamic fig glaze.
  • Fig Jam: Use your favorite jar of fig jam.
  • Balsamic Vinegar: I always have a big bottle of balsamic vinegar in my pantry that I purchase at Costco.

Instructions

Step 1 to make balsamic fig glaze.
  1. Step 1: Just place the balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and simmer on low, whisking occasionally and until reduced by ⅓ and is starting to become syrupy. This will take about 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in the fig preserves and whisk to mix well. If glaze is too thick add water if necessary.

Hint: If the Balsamic Fig Glaze becomes too thick, simply whisk in a little water to thin.

How To Use It

Balsamic fig glaze drizzled on a slice of chuck eye roast.
  1. A glaze of this nature is a very simple way to dress up any main course meat to turn it into a restaurant quality experience. My favorite way to use this in on a beef recipe, like this one for Chuck Eye Roast.
  • Pork Chops: A trick I learned back in culinary school, we used balsamic fig glaze to drizzle over pan seared pork chops, turning a humble piece of meat into a restaurant quality main course.
  • Lamb: I use this glaze most to dress up roasted lamb chops. Lamb chops are already an “fancy feel” main, and this glaze makes them special for a Saturday date night dinner, or for a dinner party. Christmas Eve dinner comes to mind.
  • Grilled Chicken Breasts or thighs.
  • Veggies: Don’t forget the vegetables. Drizzle this over steamed or roasted vegetable, or Marbled Potatoes.
  • Crostini: This is a great sauce or drizzled on crostini with melted Brie Cheese.
  • Charcuterie Board: It's unreal on a cheese board. Drizzle it over brie or goat cheese and watch people hover.
  • Fig Balsamic Salad Dressing: Drizzle over your favorite tossed salad, it make a great salad dressing.
Balsamic fig glaze drizzled over boneless skinless chicken breasts.
  1. How To Serve: Drizzle over roasted or grilled, boneless skinless chicken breasts. Asparagus as a side dish works well here.
  1. How To Serve: Drizzle over roasted lamb chops with green beans and carrots for a side.

Tips For Success:

  • A Smoother Glaze – Fig jam does contain seeds. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the sauce to make it completely smooth.
  • As for balsamic vinegar, don't grab the cheapest bottle on the shelf. It doesn't need to be aged 25 years or anything dramatic. Just something balanced. If you use a cheap balsamic vinegar it will taste harsh straight up. That flavor will transfer to the glaze also.

Variations and Flavor Add-Ins

  • Add a little fresh thyme or rosemary if you're serving this balsamic sauce with a steak.
  • A strip of orange peel wakes everything up and works nice if you’re glazing a fish fillet.
  • Black pepper or a pinch of chili flakes adds edge.

Play around. This glaze is forgiving.

Make Ahead, Storage, Reheating

  • Make Ahead: Please do. It gets better after a rest. The flavors settle down and get cozy with each other. Make it a day or two ahead and store it in the fridge. When you pull it back out, it'll be thicker and deeper. That's not a flaw. That's a bonus.
  • Storage: Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about a week.
  • Reheating: Warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat, slow and steady. Add a splash of water or balsamic and stir. Don’t use medium or high heat or it may scorch. I advise against using the microwave, even 50% power may compromise the glaze.

FAQ

Is This A Sauce or A Glaze?

Both. This is a sauce that due to the consistency of the Fig jam makes a thick sauce that works well as a glaze for cooked meats. It’s also a sauce that can be used to drizzle over pizza or even a tossed salad.

Is Balsamic Fig Glaze The Same As Balsamic Reduction?

No. A pure balsamic reduction is just vinegar cooked down. Balsamic fig glaze includes figs or fig jam, which add sweetness, body, and a softer, fruit-forward flavor.

Can I Use Dried Figs Or Fresh Figs?

Yes. Dried figs work well and are available year-round. Chop them small and add them at the beginning of this recipe, then strain. The same with fresh figs, when in season and available. Remove the stem, chop or mash them and add them at the beginning of the cook time. Strain or puree when the sauce is complete.

I'm a sauce person. Always have been. Culinary school made me that way. Classic French training shaped most professional kitchens in the U.S. The old brigade system traces back to Auguste Escoffier, and he built his structure around sauces. The five "mother sauces" weren't random. They were foundations. If you could make those, you could build hundreds of variations without a recipe. Once you realize a simple glaze or sauce can change an entire dish, there's no going back.

New Mexico Style Huevos Rancheros in Red Chile Sauce

By 4 Comments

A super easy recipe to enjoy New Mexican Style Huevos Rancheros for breakfast. This classic Mexican and Southwestern recipe is a common breakfast entree in the West and Southwest. This dish is built around my New Mexico Red Chile Sauce, a foundational recipe in traditional Southwestern cooking.

New Mexico Style Huevos Rancheros using blue corn tortillas and red chile sauce.

What Are New Mexico Style Huevos Rancheros

“Huevos Rancheros” simply translates to “Rancher’s Eggs”. A traditional Mexican breakfast entree featuring fried eggs served over a toasted corn tortilla and drizzled with a rich red chile sauce. Often served with beans and crumbled Cotija cheese.

This classic Mexican dish becomes a New Mexico Southwestern specialty by using blue corn tortillas. They’re a staple of Southwest cuisine. With robust flavor and striking indigo blue hue, blue corn tortillas have deep rooted cultural significance. Simply stated, it's a natural choice for classic New Mexico recipes using corn tortillas.

To finish, Southwestern Huevos Rancheros are drizzled with a New Mexico Red Chile Sauce, which can be made from chile pods or Red Chile Sauce From Ground Red Chile Powder.

Why It Works

  • Easy: This recipe is so easy to throw together, making them a great choice for a weekday breakfast or even quick dinner.
  • Popular: Here in our neck of the woods, one can find Huevos Rancheros on the menu of most Mexican restaurants. They’re eaten as much as enchiladas, burritos and tacos.
  • Versatile: They an be made any way you want, this recipe is pretty simple with fried eggs served over warm corn tortillas, red chile sauce and a side of beans. Using canned beans makes this especially easy. Use black beans, chile sauced pinto beans (my favorite), or refried beans.
  • Red Or Green: You can make this recipe using Hatch Green Chile Sauce, but I suggest you keep it traditional with red sauce. I tried it once that way and quickly learned that my choice is smothered in “red”.

This dish is all about red chile sauce. Not ranchero sauce. Not pico. Not something from a jar labeled "southwest." We're talking smooth, earthy, brick-red chile with depth and a little attitude. Spoon on enough of it that you can drag everything through it.

I learned this early on, especially after culinary school, with an New Mexico Native Executive Chef, that New Mexico food plays by its own rules. Simple ingredients. No fuss. Big flavor. Huevos rancheros here aren't flashy and most certainly are a breakfast that sticks with you.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients to make New Mexico Style Huevos Rancheros.
  • Blue Corn Tortillas: Are a natural choice to make New Mexico Style Huevos Rancheros. If you can’t find them, use yellow corn tortillas. Yellow corn are sturdier than white corn and have a more pronounced corn flavor. Flour tortillas just seem wrong … and they are… for Huevos Rancheros.
  • Eggs: You simply can’t make this dish without them.
  • Red Chile Sauce: I always have a stash of this sauce in the freezer. It’s a wonderful New Mexico condiment that makes this recipe special. If you simply don’t want to take the time to make it, use Homemade Enchilada Sauce or store purchased.
  • Toppings: Chopped raw sweet onion, Cotija Cheese, and sliced black olives.

How to Make New Mexico Huevos Rancheros

Frying eggs to make Southwestern New Mexico Huevos Rancheros.
  1. Step 1: Start by warming the red chile sauce and the beans stovetop. Then proceed with this recipe.
  2. Step 2: Fry the eggs. Use a non-stick skillet and cook them low and slow until desired doneness.

What Eggs Are Best For Huevos Rancheros?

Runny Yolks win. If you want to be traditional, sunny side up should be your choice. Which mean, the eggs are cooked slowly, cooked until the white part is no longer runny. Sunny side up eggs are not flipped, leaving the yolk in tact and runny. Why do runny yolks matter? The runny yolks acts as a rich creamy sauce that blends with the other ingredients in a delightful way.

How To Toast Corn Tortillas

  1. Step 3: Warm the tortillas. You simply can’t take a corn tortilla out of the package and use it. They need to be warmed to be pliable and enhance their flavor. My favorite way to do this is to toast them stovetop. Place a corn tortilla over an open flame. The flame should be large enough so that it’s lapping at the edge of the tortilla. Let it toast for about 15 seconds, use tongs and repeat on the other side. Don’t walk away, watch them close. It truly takes just a few seconds to toast corn tortillas.

Assembling Your Huevos Rancheros

  1. Step 4: Build that breakfast: Place two toasted or warmed blue corn tortillas on a plate. Top each with two eggs. Ladle a spoon full of beans next to the eggs and tortillas. Sprinkle with chopped onion, red chile sauce, sliced olives and crumbled Cotija cheese. If you’re a fan, sprinkle some chopped cilantro over all. Dig in.

Tips For Authentic New Mexico Flavors

Authentic Variations You’ll Find

  • Papitas: In many New Mexico or Mexican Restaurants, you may see Papitas listed on the menu as a side dish for for Huevos Rancheros. They’re simply Mexican Breakfast Potatoes that are cubed and fried with bell peppers and onions. Regular hash-brown potatoes are also a good choice for a side dish here.
  • Sauce Options: Southwestern Huevos Rancheros also be served with Green Chile Sauce or you may have the choice of “Christmas Style” (red plus green sauce), which is very similar to my Huevos Divorciados (Divorced Eggs).

FAQ’s

What Makes Huevos Rancheros New Mexico Style?

Simple, using blue corn tortillas and New Mexico Red Chile Sauce, both which are staples in New Mexico Cuisine.

Can I Make Red Chile Sauce Ahead Of Time?

You can and you should. Making red chile sauce from dried pods is somewhat of a production. Making it from Chile powder is a much easier method, but making the sauce a day ahead will make this recipe a cinch to make. Making red chile sauce ahead of time is common in New Mexico kitchens.

Is This Recipe Spicy?

That all depends on your sauce. And that’s the beauty of cooking with Hatch Chile Peppers. You can choose mild, medium or hot peppers to make your sauce.

What Makes This Soup So Interesting?

This spicy Chicken and Cabbage soup is loaded with so many vegetables, it will remind you of grandma’s. Almost. Adding roasted chile peppers brings some spicy excitement to this classic comfort food.

This recipe is easy enough for a beginning cook and interesting enough for the gourmet home cook. It’s a healthy soup for anyone looking for some jazzed-up clean eating healthy dinners.

Flavor Profile and Benefits

  • Comfort Food: Just one bite is all it takes to remind you of why a chicken soup is one of the most comforting soups one can make. We’ll sear the chicken first to create Maillard Reaction. It’s that crusty, toasty flavor that elevates anything from steaks to a simple slice of toasted bread.
  • Rich Broth: An easy rich flavored broth is made by simply simmering purchased chicken broth with Mexican oregano, bay leaves and Chinese Mustard.
  • Spicy Heat: No boring chicken cabbage soup here. New Mexico green chile peppers bring some heat along with a surprise unique hot flavor using Chinese Hot Mustard.

  • Why Cabbage In Soup? It’s hearty texture adds bulk, it’s low in calories, impressive with nutrients, and budget friendly, it’s a perfect addition to brothy soups.

Table of contents

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients to make Spicy Chicken Cabbage Soup.
  • Broth: We’ll make a deep flavored base for this soup using chicken broth, Mexican oregano, bay leaves and Chinese mustard for some pungent, spicy heat.
  • Chicken Breast: Seared golden for Maillard reaction flavor, then cubed and added to the soup.
  • Cabbage: Regular green cabbage sliced thin or chopped.
  • Starchy Vegetables: Cubed potatoes make this a hearty soup and corn brings a Southwestern feel. Use a russet potato, or Yukon Gold. Yukon gold potatoes don’t need to be peeled, bringing more vitamins, minerals and fiber.
  • Chile Peppers: I used roasted Hatch Chile Peppers with a medium heat level. My article Chili vs Chili will give you a better idea about all things chile peppers and their heat levels.
  • Basic Soup Veggies: Onions, carrots, bell pepper and garlic are basic soup ingredients, somewhat of a Mirepoix.

Ingredient Variations

  • Chile Peppers: You can control the heat of this soup by using roasted Poblano Peppers, which can be milder than New Mexico Hatch chile peppers. The beauty of cooking with chile peppers, is that you can choose mild, medium and hot chile peppers to customize to your heat tolerance.
  • Chinese Mustard: Please don’t skip using this, as it brings a unique zingy flavor of heat. You can substitute with Chinese mustard powder, or even regular mustard powder. All of these options have an interesting heat element.
  • Cabbage: I used regular green cabbage, but feel free to use Napa Cabbage or Savoy Cabbage. They’ll work well in this soup.
  • Pro Tip: Corn: When shopping for this recipe, I had planned to pick up a bag of regular frozen sweet corn. Frozen corn, rather than canned corn, is packaged at the peak of freshness. However, I found a package of Birds’s Eye Fire Roasted corn. I think it’s smoky flavor is a perfect choice for this soup if you can find it. You can also use canned corn.
  • Chicken: Swap out cooked chicken for cooked turkey. A great way to use up left over Thanksgiving turkey. Ground chicken or ground turkey also works well here.

Step by Step Instructions – It’s Easy

Searing chicken breasts to make chicken cabbage soup.
Slicing cooked chicken breasts for chicken cabbage soup.
  1. Step 1: Heat two tablespoons of neutral oil in a heavy skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken breasts until golden on each side.
  2. Step 2: Remove to a plate, let cool, then cut across the grain and then into bite sized pieces. Set aside.

Pro Tip: Don't skip searing the meat. This is a crucial step in getting the most flavor out of this meal. Searing creates what is technically called Maillard reaction. Maillard reaction is the process where a crust is created. Simply stated, it's responsible for the complex flavors and aroma that makes bread taste toasty, and a grilled or seared burger taste charred. It's a technique that brings science to your cooking skills.

Step 3: Making broth for Chicken Cabbage Soup.
Step 4: Cooking vegetables to make Chicken and Cabbage Soup.
  1. Step 3: Add the 8 cups of chicken broth to a large soup pot. Add Mexican oregano, bay leaves, and the Chinese mustard. Let the broth simmer over very low heat, uncovered for 30 minutes
  2. Step 4: Add another two tablespoons oil to the fry pan and add the chopped onion, bell pepper and carrot. Saute, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant: 30 seconds to one minute.
Step 5: Adding chopped potatoes to cooked vegetables.
Simmering soup ingredients to finish the chicken cabbage soup.
  1. Step 5: Add the potatoes and cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes.
  2. Step 6: Add the vegetables, chicken, corn, chopped roasted chile peppers and cabbage to the broth. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

  1. Step 7: To serve, ladle some soup into your favorite soup bowls. I prefer shallow white bowls for presentation. The vegetables stay visible and don’t sink to the bottom. Add some grated cheese to the top, chopped cilantro and serve with tortilla chips for crushing. Offering a squeeze of lime will brighten the flavors.

Tips For Success

  • Chunky Vegetables: For this soup, I like to keep the vegetable chop size a little larger than a regular Mirepoix, like I do for my Crock Pot Ham and Beans recipe. Since this is billed as a chicken soup with vegetables, the vegetables play a bigger role than just adding flavor.
  • Mushy Cabbage: How To Keep Cabbage From Getting Mushy In Soup: Cabbage is a delicate vegetable, especially when thin sliced or shredded. Follow the rules for adding this later in the cook time steps.
  • Delicate Simmer: Avoid bringing this cabbage and chicken soup to a rolling boil. An aggressive boil will cause the vegetables to become too soft and the chicken to overcook.
  • Acid: The flavor in a a brothy soup is always elevated by some type of acid. Vinegar is a common enhancer, and for this Southwest version, lime juice works very well.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

  • Sides: For a heartier meal, serve this soup over white oven rice. A loaf of crusty bread is always welcome. A small bowl of Mexican Pickled Red Onions would be a nice treat.
  • Wine: Serve an off dry white wine like Riesling. A Pinot Noir won’t clash with the spice and a peppery, rich, fruity Zinfandel will match the bold flavor of this soup.

Storage and Reheating

  • Refrigerator: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: I’m not a fan of freezing these types of soups because it will compromise the texture of the vegetables and especially the cabbage. I have frozen cabbage style soups and am simply not pleased with the soup once it’s thawed and reheated.
  • Reheating: Reheat individual servings in the microwave. The 50% power feature is your best friend. Place soup in a microwave safe bowl. For a gentle, no-splatter method, reheat in 30 second increments at 50% power until hot. You can also reheat in a sauce pan, over low heat on the stovetop.

So ditch the dull dinners and spice up your weeknight routine with this Mexican Chicken and Cabbage Soup. Healthy soup never tasted so good.

What Is A Maverick Burger

The term “Maverick Burger” can refer to any classic burger named so by any restaurant. The ingredients, toppings, seasonings and sauces are chosen to be unique to that particular restaurant.

About This Maverick Burger

In this instance, this Maverick Burger is named after the location from where I purchased it, Maverik’s Gas Station in Scotts Bluff Nebraska. A menu item from their Bonfire Grill menu, an open kitchen within the store, that offers made to order food items, including sandwiches, burritos, pizza and more.

Burgers are my all time favorite food, so you can imagine my surprise when, on a whim during a recent road trip, I grabbed a pre-packaged, pre-cooked burger from a gas station. I felt it came with credentials as about six Stetson-wearing cowboys were lined up at the grill waiting on theirs. With an impatient husband and two restless dogs in the car, rather than take my place in the back of the line, I chose a pre-packaged burger from the warming tray that was ready to go. Back on the road, and with zero expectations, I took a bite and simply could’t believe how good that burger was. And couldn’t believe I’d never had a Burger with Swiss Cheese.

What Makes This A Special Cheeseburger?

No special sauces, no gourmet toppings, just a simple cheeseburger, that became not so simple with the combination of both American and Swiss Cheese. The combo of the two cheeses made for a delicious burger, but the real treat was that it was served on a King’s Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger Bun. Why it works:

  • Swiss Cheese: Smooth, nutty, buttery, slightly sweet flavor of Swiss Cheese is a great partner for the super melty salty American Cheese.
  • Just The Right Size: The burger patty was not too big or not too small for the small size of the Kings Hawaiian Burger Bun. And being in ranch country, the high quality of the beef was evident.
  • Soft Squishy Bun: The bun didn’t seem to be toasted, but rather steamed into a fluffy soft bun that was easy to sink your teeth into.
  • No Toppings: I’m a “mustard only” burger girl, and this burger didn’t even need a smear of my favorite burger condiment.

Easy to make, let’s take a look.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients to make Maverik's Cheeseburger.
  • Ground Beef: Use an 80/20 blend of ground chuck to keep the meet tender and juicy.
  • Buns: King’s Hawaiian Sweet Burger Buns: Readily found in the bread section at your local grocer, no substitutions please. They’re what makes this burger a Maverick burger.
  • Swiss Cheese: I like Whole Foods brand sliced Swiss Cheese. Or have your deli thin slice Swiss cheese.
  • American Cheese: Kraft Singles are a great cheese for cheeseburgers. Quick to melt and smooth and cheesy.

Step by Step Instructions

Pan searing burger patties to make Maverick burgers.
Adding cheese to pan seared burger patties.
  1. Step 1: Divide one pound of ground chuck into ¼ pound patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the burger patties. Let them sear for 5 minutes without moving. Turn the patties and then use a spatula to gently smash them. Cook for 4-5 more minutes or until a digital read thermometer indicates the center is cooked to 165 degrees.
  2. Step 2: Add the Swiss cheese to the burgers, then the American Cheese and top with the burger buns. Turn the heat off and place a lid on the pan to steam the buns and melt the cheeses.

Pro Tip: Don’t have a lid big enough to cover your skillet? Just pour a small amount of water around the burgers. The heat from the pan will evaporate the water quickly, creating steam to help melt the cheese and soften those buns.

Swiss Cheese Focus, Which One and How To Melt It Right

  • I find the the best Swiss cheeses for optimal melting properties and flavor for a Swiss Cheese Burger, are Emmentaler, Gruyere and Jarlsburg. My personal choice is Emmentaler, a classic Swiss cheese with a sweeter buttery profile. Ask your deli to slice it thin and explain you’re using it for a cheeseburger so they adjust the thickness level on their slicer.
  • I’ve tried a couple versions of pre-sliced packaged Swiss cheeses. They work ok, but seem a little greasier once melted.
  • Which ever Swiss cheese you choose, let it come to room temperature (about 30 minutes) before starting this recipe.
  • To build that burger, place the slices of Swiss cheese on the burger patty first. Then add the American cheese on top. The American cheese will melt right away, helping to blanket the Swiss cheese so it will melt well. Alternate the positioning of the slices cheeses to they melt down the sides of the burger patty separately. That’s mostly for looks.

Tips For Success

  • King’s Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger buns run on the smaller side. Form the patties to be the same size as the buns.
  • Swiss cheese isn’t a quick melting cheese like American Cheese. Set the cheese out at lest 30 minutes in advance to come to room temperature. That way the two cheeses will melt consistently.
  • Don’t substitute the Kings Burger Buns for regular buns. It’s what makes this cheeseburger recipe special and a Maverick burger.
  • Don’t try to skillet fry burgers using a non-stick pan. Most non-stick pans are notorious for not generating enough heat to get a good sear.

What To Serve It With

Cheeseburgers are traditionally served with fries. But here are some other ideas.

Equipment Needed

  • Fry Pan: You’ll need a heavy skillet to get a good sear on these burgers. A cast iron skillet is a good choice. And my choice is my French Carbon Steel Skillet. Light weight, it’s the skillet of choice for Chef’s and is routinely used in restaurants to pan-sear steaks, chicken and even seafood. Disclaimer: I am an Amazon Affiliate Member.

FAQ

What’s The Best Bun For A Maverick Burger?

Kings Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger Buns. No if’s, and’s or but’s. And no substitutions. Their sweet flavor is what makes this a great burger.

How Do I Melt Swiss Cheese Properly Without Overcooking My Burger?

Bring the Swiss cheese to room temperature before starting this recipe. Room temperature Swiss will melt easier. You’re going to turn of the stove-top burner before adding the cheese and you’re going to place a lid on the pan. This will not only melt the cheese, but also steam the buns. The steam will actually bring moisture to the burger patties as well.

Can I Grill This Swiss Cheese Burger?

Absolutely. Grilling is a great option for this burger. And especially if you have a griddle, which will mimic a flat top grill used in restaurants. After the patties are cooked, place the cheese on the burgers, then the buns and simply close the grill lid for a minute or two until the cheeses are melted and the bun is soft and steamy.

The Maverick Burger proves that a great cheeseburger isn't about stacking on a bunch of toppings. It's about simplicity of flavors. A juicy patty, sweet nutty Swiss cheese, creamy American cheese and a sweet hamburger bun that compliments the flavors. Serve it hot, keep it simple and enjoy.
