 We almost never get sick of savory, rich hamburgers. But, after a long holiday filled with indulgent delights, we are sometimes drawn to a nice, green and crunch salad. Our Italian Chopped Burger Salad, packed with crunchy romaine hearts and topped with our beefy Grassfed Beef Burgers, is a spin on a traditional Caesar salad that’s loaded with flavor. The salad is made with chopped romaine hearts, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber and hard boiled eggs then topped with one of our juicy grilled burger patties. Finished with a lemony Garlic Parmesan dressing and toasted Parmesan croutons, this salad gives it a bright and light flavor and crunch you’ll absolutely love. Buon Appetito! Steakhouse Elite Italian Chopped Burger Salad with Garlic Parmesan Dressing 
 Serves 4 Ingredients: Parmesan Croutons: 1 loaf French or Italian bread ¼ cup butter 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 2 cloves of minced garlic Garlic Parmesan Dressing: ¼ cup lemon juice ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced ¼ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped Italian Chopped Salad: 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 Steakhouse Elite Grass-Fed Beef Burgers Kosher salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped 2 green onions, sliced Red grape tomatoes, chopped ½ English cucumber, chopped 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped (optional) Parmesan cheese, for garnish Parmesan croutons, for garnish Instructions:
Make the Parmesan Croutons: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cut four ¾ inch thick slices of French or Italian bread into small pieces (about 3 ½ cups). In a small saucepan, melt ¼ cup butter over medium heat and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Add the cut bread pieces and stir to coat. Spread the bread pieces on a shallow baking sheet in a single, even layer. Bake for 20 minutes until croutons are golden brown, stirring at least once halfway through. Cool the croutons completely until crispy. They can also be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 24 hours. Cook the Burgers: Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Meanwhile, season the ground beef burger patties with salt and pepper, making an indentation in the center of each. Brush the burgers with olive oil and cook for about 3 minutes, turn over and cook for another 4-5 minutes until burger is cooked through medium or to your liking (adjust time for desired temperature). Italian Chopped Salad and Dressing: Meanwhile, make the salad dressing by whisking together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, incorporating the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and fresh parsley in a small bowl. Set aside. Add the chopped salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl – romaine, onions, tomatoes, cucumber. Add the Garlic Parmesan dressing to the salad and toss to coat. Divide chopped salad mixture between four individual salad bowls. Top each salad with a cooked burger (sliced or chopped into large chunks) and garnish with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and Parmesan croutons. Serve any additional salad dressing on the side.

We like our burgers big and bold! So when we make burgers with all the fixings, we go all the way and stuff it, top it, and sauce it like we did with our BBQ Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed burgers. These burgers (also aptly named the “Juicy Lucy” Burger) are a Midwestern favorite! By stuffing it with cheese, it becomes an inside-out cheeseburger that will knock your socks off! When paired with our Steakhouse Elite Kobe Beef Burgers and stuffed with sharp Cheddar and sautéed onions inside, the end product is a gooey, melted center wrapped in a bold, beefy casing. Grilled to perfection and topped with crispy bacon, sautéed onions and BBQ sauce on a toasted bun with lettuce and tomato, the only thing that could make this burger better would be to serve it alongside BBQ chips and an ice cold beer.  BBQ Bacon Cheese-Stuffed Burgers
Ingredients:
8 slices thick center-cut bacon 1 medium sweet onion, diced 4 Steakhouse Elite Kobe Beef Burgers 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar) Kosher salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1-2 tablespoons olive oil ½ cup BBQ sauce 4 slices tomato 4 lettuce leaves Sliced dill pickles 4 hamburger buns, toasted BBQ Chips, for serving Ice cold beer, for serving Instructions: In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-low heat until crispy and cooked through to your liking. Drain the bacon on paper towels, reserving a tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan. Turn the heat up to medium and cook the onions in the same pan until lightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside while grilling the burgers. Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Meanwhile, cut each burger in half and top 4 burgers with ¼ cup shredded cheese and 1-2 tablespoons of onion, leaving a border around the edge of the patties. Top with another patty and seal the burgers by pressing edges together. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper to taste. Brush or spray the burgers with the olive oil and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until burger is cooked through medium (adjust time for desired temperature). Add lettuce and tomato to the bottom of the bun and top the burgers with BBQ sauce, pickles, and bacon. Serves 4.

Spread the remaining half of the marinara sauce on the bottoms of the toasted buns and place the burgers on top. Garnish the burgers with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley; serve with Parmesan Garlic fries and extra marinara on the side. Cheesy. Savory. Buttery.

Remove the sandwiches and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and return the sandwiches to the pan, grilling them on the other side until crispy, golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 3 minutes. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve with curly fries or onion rings and ketchup on the side. Tuesdays were made for tacos!

July is the season of land and sea, where we spend our days lakeside, shore side or poolside, then head home for some hammock time or porch sitting.

When the gourmet, beefy flavor of our Kobe-crafted burgers (the "turf") is combined with Old Bay spiced lump crab meat and shrimp, corn, mayo, celery, chives, and lemon juice alongside green leaf lettuce and juicy tomatoes (the "surf"), the delicious tastes of summer, both land and sea, spill out of every bite.

First we made the burger, then we worked on making the best Kobe-crafted™️ burger on the market available to you.

But we are happy to announce that Steakhouse Elite is available at several East Coast Kroger stores.

The world is filled with all kinds of delicious food, but there's nothing out there that's quite like the experience of biting into a fresh, juicy burger. The perfect marriage between a bread bun and a patty, the burger has long been a symbol of the American foodscape. Burgers are the perfect all-American food, as they are filling, yet easy to put together, and versatile enough that you can experiment with toppings to your heart's content. Previously on the blog, we talked about 'Next Level Grilled Burgers' that will help you expand your burger portfolio. Today, we're going to bring that a step further by helping you figure out what wine to pair with your favorite Steakhouse Elite burger. Wine has always been seen as a sophisticated beverage, one that requires a bit more thought than a fresh, cold can of beer. Its origins can be traced to millennia ago, with the earliest evidence of wine coming from Georgia dating to about 6000 BC. While a glass of wine may be shorthand for 'fancy', the reality is that anyone can build an appreciation for it. And what better excuse to build that appreciation than by pairing it with a juicy burger? Here's a simple guide to pairing your Steakhouse Elite burger with wine for that little bit of 'oomph' to elevate your dining experience -- even if you're just grilling burgers at home. Kobe-Crafted Beef BurgerKobe-Crafted beef burgers go well with a bottle of Spain's finest Cabernet Sauvignon, which has a structure and tannins that complement the melt-in-your-mouth richness of the beef. While Spain is more well-known for its Rioja, the country also produces some complex varieties of Cabernet in La Mancha, Catalonia, and Navarra. This wine culture has also influenced Asian countries like the Philippines. In a post on 'Wineries and Wine Culture in the Philippines', the article highlights how restaurants should be serving high-quality Spanish wines to go with any Kobe-style beef burgers, or they are doing it wrong! Grass-fed Beef BurgerGrass-fed beef is well-known for its meatier taste, which is packed with minerals from grass and other forage. This variety of beef also tends to have less marbling when compared to grain-fed, and has a more distinct flavor profile as well. Pair your grass-fed beef burger with a Pinot Noir, as the earthy tannins will help cut through the charred meat taste and complement the overall experience. Angus Beef BurgerAngus beef is a variety of beef that has a tendency to develop better marbling, which improves flavor, tenderness, and keeps meat moist and juicy while cooking. As such, it's a favorite for burger patties. For your classic Angus beef burger, go for wines that pair well with red meat, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah. You can also choose a nice Malbec with a higher than normal acidity to complement the beefy taste. Finding the perfect wine to go with your favorite burger is one sure way to transform grill day. Got any other ideas? Shoot us a message! After all, Elite Steakhouse is all about savoring the moment and creating better beef moments for everyone!
