Nothing beats a garlicky burger when you’re craving something hearty and flavorful, and this Steak N’ Shake garlic steakburger recipe delivers just that.

Why this recipe works

• Layers of garlic flavor: The garlic butter and garlic salt on the buns add rich, savory flavor to every bite.

• No-fuss ingredients: This recipe uses everyday staples, so it’s easy to make even on a busy night.

Serving suggestions

• Classic sides that work: French fries, onion rings, or potato wedges round out the meal and bring the diner feel home.

• Something crisp: Pickle chips, coleslaw, or sliced cucumbers help balance the richness of the burger.

• Best drinks to serve: Go with an ice-cold cola, root beer, or a crisp lager to match the bold flavors.

• Great for any night: Perfect for Friday dinners, game-day bites, or backyard burger nights with the family.
