Broiled Steakburgers
Juicy broiled steakburgers packed with flavorful herbs, pickles, and cheese, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal suited for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine ground round steak with salt, pepper, soy sauce, chopped parsley, chopped dill pickles, grated Cheddar cheese, and chopped onion; blend thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties.
- Place the patties on a broiler pan about 3 inches from the broiler.
- Cook for 4 minutes on each side.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce in place of soy sauce. If you're looking for a healthier option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Make sure to keep the patties even in size to ensure uniform cooking. During the broiling process, keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking, as broilers can vary in intensity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these steakburgers on toasted buns with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise. They pair wonderfully with a side of crispy fries or a fresh garden salad. Consider adding a slice of tomato and lettuce for freshness, or even some sautéed mushrooms for a gourmet touch. They also make a great addition to a BBQ spread with other American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steakburgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel to maintain moisture, heating in short intervals until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the burger patties before cooking?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before broiling.
What can I use instead of ground round steak?
If you don't have ground round steak, ground chuck or ground sirloin can be great alternatives. They offer similar flavors and textures. For a lighter option, ground turkey or chicken can be used, though they may require a bit more seasoning to achieve the desired taste.
How can I tell when the steakburgers are done cooking?
The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F to 135°F, while medium should be around 140°F to 145°F. If you don't have a thermometer, ensure the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink in the center.
