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 for Burgers 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.
Jalapeno Sauce for Burgers Using Steak Sauce
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.
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.
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.

I 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
Well shoot, that makes sense. I did love that basket, so will probably live without the grill marks…. unless company is coming over.
rsmacaalay says
I love japanenos on burgers it gives it an extra oomph!
Lea Ann says
I just love jalapenos period… as long as they’re seeded and deveined. 🙂
Andrea @ Fork Fingers Chopsticks. says
Great to see you today. Looking for your Facebook page link?
Plus, I love any burger with guac, chipotle mayo and sprouts.
Karen Harris says
Want to meet same time, same place tomorrow? I’ve lost your e-mail address. How’d I do that?
Joanne says
I love sprucing up burgers with tons of flavor and you’ve really done that with this steak sauce! Absolutely delicious!
Lea Ann says
I love Country Bob’s. As always, thanks for the visit and comment.
Karen says
I’m so glad winter is finally over. We grilled a venison tri-tip last night – so nice to get back outside!
Lea Ann says
Venison Tri-tip sounds a lot better than this burger! 🙂
My Carolina Kitchen says
I 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.

Lea Ann says
Plain ol burgers are perhaps the best. And yes with the toppings of choice…onion…mustard…lettuce…tomato. Yum
dan says
yer killin’ me! please keep it up.
Lea Ann says
Will do Dan. 🙂
tasteofbeirut says
Even though I am not a burger type, I would devour this one! Plus it has the magic ingredient: jalapeño!
Lea Ann says
I’m a big time burger type. If I wouldn’t gain 200 pounds, I’d eat them every day.
Vickie from Part Three says
I 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
Just like black shoes, we can never have enough. 🙂
Carol @ There's Always Thyme to Cook says
Looks great! I love jalapeno’s on my burger! Avocado, too! Now I have to have one.
Lea Ann says
Thanks for stopping by Carol. 🙂
Karen Harris says
I 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
I agree, I hope we’ve now brushed the last of the snow. I’m ready for spring.
Barbara | VinoLuciStyle says
Let’s open a restaurant. You do the burgers and I’ll do the cake. Deal?
Lea Ann says
Deal! Can I sneak in an egg dish every once in awhile?
Design Wine and Dine says
OK…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
I got those baskets at Sur la Table. Just couldn’t resist buying them and couldn’t wait to show them off in my blog. 🙂
larry says
Looks 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
Mmm, I’m liking that idea Larry.
Chilebrown says
Love the jalapenos!
Lea Ann says
Thanks ChiliB
Dave says
Sounds 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
I guess I’ve never had a problem with burgers falling apart. And I do follow rules about loose packing for good texture….
Arlene Miller II says
I am literally trying not to drool at my desk. This looks fantastic!
Lea Ann says
Too funny. I have a cubicle, so I can pretty much drool in privacy.
JelliDonut says
Yum! 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
You’re welcome! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for spring weather.
Russ says
Yay! Grilling weather is here at last!!
Lea Ann says
Can you believe our “out of hibernation” grill is covered with snow this morning?????
