Steakhouse Burger Recipe

Updated on August 26th, 2025

There’s something extra satisfying about a big, hearty burger straight off the grill, and this steakhouse burger checks all the boxes. Juicy beef patties are seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning, topped with Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, onion rings, and sautéed mushrooms. The garlic aioli ties it all together, adding a smooth, garlicky flavor that makes the whole burger unforgettable. It takes a little work to prepare the toppings, but every bite is worth the effort when you sit down to enjoy one of these.

Why this recipe works

• Well-seasoned patties: Montreal steak seasoning brings out the beefy flavor of the burgers and gives them a steakhouse-style taste that feels robust and satisfying.
• Garlic aioli boost: The aioli adds a creamy, garlicky layer that balances the smoky bacon, crispy onion rings, and tender mushrooms, making the burger stand out from a basic version.
• Topping variety: Bacon, onion rings, cheese, and mushrooms all bring their own texture and flavor, which means every bite feels a little different and never boring.
• Grilled for maximum flavor: Cooking the patties on the grill gives them a smoky edge and creates that classic summer burger experience.
• Cheese options: Swiss pairs naturally with mushrooms, but the recipe also works with cheddar or other cheeses if you want to make it your own.

Serving suggestions

• Classic burger meal: Serve the steakhouse burgers with fries, onion rings, or potato wedges to keep the restaurant-style feel at home.
• Add fresh sides: A crisp side salad or grilled vegetables balance out the richness of the burger and make the meal feel complete.
• Highlight of the cookout: These burgers are impressive enough to be the star of a summer barbecue or family gathering.
• Pair with drinks: Cold iced tea, lemonade, or even a light beer go perfectly with the smoky flavors from the grill.
• Serve right away: Burgers are best hot off the grill when the cheese is still melted and the toppings are crisp and fresh.

Instructions

1. To prepare garlic aioli- in a small bowl mix together mayonnaise, fresh garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. Add onion rings and fry in oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sautee for about 4 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce. Sautee the mushrooms for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
4. Lightly grease the grill grates of an outdoor grill, and heat the grill to medium-high heat. Form ground beef into 4 equal patties. Make a depression in the center of each patty with your thumb. Season the patties on both sides with Montreal steak seasoning. Place hamburger patties onto the grill and cook, turning once until the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees. During the last few minutes of cooking, top each hamburger patty with a slice of Swiss cheese. Once the cheese has melted remove the cooked hamburger patties from the grill.
5. While hamburgers are grilling, split the hamburger buns and place them cut side down onto the grill. Cook until lightly toasted.
6. To assemble burgers- place each hamburger patty onto the top of the bottom half of each bun. Top with mushrooms, bacon, and onion rings. Spread the garlic aioli onto the bottom of the top half of the bun. Place the top half of the bun onto the burger.
