A little heat from diced jalapeno and a savory kick from A-1 steak sauce, a killer combo for an exciting burger. This Jalapeno Steak Sauce Burger is a must have recipe for your Summer Cookouts.
What are your favorite flavor additions to spruce up plain old grilled burgers? We’ve been experimenting and with warmer weather, our grill has officially come out of hibernation. Just in time for these jalapeno steak sauce burgers.
As you know, with a Christmas gift of a grilling class at a local cooking school, we now have another cook in the house. Bob has been experimenting with different grilled hamburger recipes and when talking with friend Shera she quickly shared her husband’s favorite recipe. Sounded so delicious and we had to give it a try.
We’ve always been fans of A-1 Steak Sauce. And to pour a couple of tablespoons into ground beef was an easy request for us. Just take a couple of tablespoons of A-1 sauce and a pound of 80-20 ground beef and you’ve got one legendary burger. And with the addition of diced jalapeno and diced onion, what’s not to love.
Make sure you dice those vegetables as small as you can. We referred to this as find dice in Culinary School. Larger chunks of veggies can make that burger a little looser and it can tend to fall apart.
You can most certainly stop and enjoy this burger as is, but don’t hesitate to top it with some lettuce, a slice of white cheddar American Cheese, and even a lovely slice of fresh garden tomato.
Recipe for A-1 Jalapeno Steak Sauce Burger
I hope you give this A-1 Steak Sauce burger a try. And if you do, please come back and let me know how you liked it and give the recipe a star rating.
Your feedback is valuable to me for developing future recipes. And if you have a favorite recipe using A-1 Steak Sauce, let me know, I’d love to give it a try.
- 1 jalapeno fine diced deseeded and deveined
- 1/4 onion fine diced
- 2 tablespoons A-1 Steak Sauce
- 2/3 pound ground beef
- white cheddar cheese and yellow mustard for garnish
- In a small bowl, mix together jalapeno, onion and steak sauce. Gently fold ingredients into the ground beef and form into patties. Place patties in the freezer for about 30 minutes to help everything to stay together on the grill. Grill 450 degrees, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
I mean really, how could it not be delicious.
Bob actually thought this might be his favorite recipe so far. Me? You could mix ground beef with sawdust and I’d love it…I just flat-out love any grilled burger.
And served up with a healthy choice of grilled zucchini topped with a zingy vinaigrette and we had a great Summer meal. This dressing is now my go to for grilled zucchini for any grilled veggies this summer.

Lea Ann says
April 27, 2011 at 8:46 amCan you believe our “out of hibernation” grill is covered with snow this morning?????
JelliDonut says
April 27, 2011 at 8:45 amYum! Go can never go wrong with grilled veggies. I think I know what and where I’ll be cooking this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
Lea Ann says
April 27, 2011 at 8:47 amYou’re welcome! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for spring weather.
Arlene Miller II says
April 27, 2011 at 8:47 amI am literally trying not to drool at my desk. This looks fantastic!
Lea Ann says
April 30, 2011 at 5:56 amToo funny. I have a cubicle, so I can pretty much drool in privacy.
Dave says
April 27, 2011 at 8:52 amSounds tasty! We’re dying to start grilling some warm weather food. Great tip about putting the burgers in the freezer before grilling them.
Lea Ann says
April 30, 2011 at 5:57 amI guess I’ve never had a problem with burgers falling apart. And I do follow rules about loose packing for good texture….
Chilebrown says
April 27, 2011 at 9:36 amLove the jalapenos!
Lea Ann says
April 27, 2011 at 5:08 pmThanks ChiliB
larry says
April 27, 2011 at 2:48 pmLooks really good Lea Ann. One of my favorite’s is a Larry burger which is basically made like a meatloaf including mushroom’s then grilled.
Lea Ann says
April 27, 2011 at 5:06 pmMmm, I’m liking that idea Larry.
Design Wine and Dine says
April 27, 2011 at 5:13 pmOK…this looks delicious!!!! I love the red basket bowls too…brings it all together! I love to add all sorts of things to burgers but your jalapenos here are probably my favorite!
I just want to grab it and take a bite!!!
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 7:18 pmI got those baskets at Sur la Table. Just couldn’t resist buying them and couldn’t wait to show them off in my blog. 🙂
Barbara | VinoLuciStyle says
April 27, 2011 at 9:06 pmLet’s open a restaurant. You do the burgers and I’ll do the cake. Deal?
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 5:36 amDeal! Can I sneak in an egg dish every once in awhile?
Karen Harris says
April 28, 2011 at 5:45 amI love it when we can brush the snow off the grill and fire it up. This looks fantastic. The addition of the grill veggies is a great idea. I’ll have to try Velva’s dressing.
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 7:17 pmI agree, I hope we’ve now brushed the last of the snow. I’m ready for spring.
Carol @ There's Always Thyme to Cook says
April 28, 2011 at 6:23 amLooks great! I love jalapeno’s on my burger! Avocado, too! Now I have to have one.
Lea Ann says
April 30, 2011 at 5:58 amThanks for stopping by Carol. 🙂
Vickie from Part Three says
April 28, 2011 at 7:17 amI am so anxious to try the jalapenos in the burger . . . that sounds like it’s right up my alley! And that flexible basket sounds like a great veggie tool. (and we all know how badly I need more gadgets 😀 )
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 7:15 pmJust like black shoes, we can never have enough. 🙂
tasteofbeirut says
April 28, 2011 at 11:28 amEven though I am not a burger type, I would devour this one! Plus it has the magic ingredient: jalapeño!
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 7:09 pmI’m a big time burger type. If I wouldn’t gain 200 pounds, I’d eat them every day.
dan says

April 28, 2011 at 7:09 pmWill do Dan. 🙂
My Carolina Kitchen says
April 28, 2011 at 4:41 pmI too love grilled burgers. As much as I hate to admit it, we haven’t ever added very much to the meat itself. We usually do a lot of toppings. I’m liking your idea of flavoring before grilling Lea Ann. Love the jalapeno idea.
Sam
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 7:07 pmPlain ol burgers are perhaps the best. And yes with the toppings of choice…onion…mustard…lettuce…tomato. Yum
Karen says
April 28, 2011 at 5:17 pmI’m so glad winter is finally over. We grilled a venison tri-tip last night – so nice to get back outside!
Lea Ann says
April 28, 2011 at 7:05 pmVenison Tri-tip sounds a lot better than this burger! 🙂
Joanne says
April 29, 2011 at 6:10 amI love sprucing up burgers with tons of flavor and you’ve really done that with this steak sauce! Absolutely delicious!
Lea Ann says
May 1, 2011 at 8:28 amI love Country Bob’s. As always, thanks for the visit and comment.
Karen Harris says
April 29, 2011 at 6:14 pmWant to meet same time, same place tomorrow? I’ve lost your e-mail address. How’d I do that?
Andrea @ Fork Fingers Chopsticks. says
April 30, 2011 at 3:41 pmGreat to see you today. Looking for your Facebook page link?
Plus, I love any burger with guac, chipotle mayo and sprouts.
rsmacaalay says
May 1, 2011 at 3:12 amI love japanenos on burgers it gives it an extra oomph!
Lea Ann says
May 1, 2011 at 5:20 amI just love jalapenos period… as long as they’re seeded and deveined. 🙂
Chris says
May 1, 2011 at 3:13 pmI think grilling is bad for the environment and should be outlawed! (snicker)
Since you are using a veggie basket, you won’t get grill grate marks, the metal is between the grates (searing heat source) and the veggies. No contact, no grid marks. That is one I wrestle with. I’ve used baskets like you and they work well. I also have used kabobs to be able to flip the zucchini in groups. That seems to work out the best.
Lea Ann says
May 1, 2011 at 4:37 pmWell shoot, that makes sense. I did love that basket, so will probably live without the grill marks…. unless company is coming over.
Steph@PlainChicken.com says
May 10, 2011 at 8:14 amWow, these burgers sound great! I’ll have to try them on our next burger night.
barbbq says
May 10, 2011 at 10:03 pmyour comment about sawdust in the ground beef made me chuckle! i remember my aunt, years ago, dropped a burger in sand & then put it back on the grill, LOL! Needless to say, i did not eat the burgers that night. LOVE YOUR SITE.
