Steakburger vs. Hamburger: Which One Packs More Flavor?
If you are deciding between a steakburger vs. a hamburger, you may be wondering which one to pick and why. At Freddy’s, we are obviously partial to steakburgers and ensuring that our guests experience flavorful, made-to-order menu selections. However, there are a few factors that can make a steakburger a tastier alternative to a standard hamburger patty. Find out more about these flavor boosters and what makes Freddy’s steakburgers so delicious!
3 Reasons for Choosing a Steakburger vs. a Hamburger
Whether the patties are made of beef, turkey, or veggies, burgers frequently appear everywhere from kitchen tables to upscale dining establishments. For individuals with a particular passion for beef burgers, exploring the various iterations of this type of burger may be especially appealing. While the overall taste of a dish is determined by its various components in addition to the patty, here are three reasons why choosing a steakburger vs. a hamburger may contribute to optimal deliciousness:
1. Steakburgers are often characterized by the use of more premium cuts or types of beef. Sometimes, instead of calling a burger that uses a higher-quality cut a steakburger, menus may further highlight the type of beef by including it in the name of the dish, as with a Wagyu steakburger.
2. The cuts of meat used in steakburgers may result in a greater overall fat content than the standard hamburger patty. As per Food Business News, fat when cooked down often adds its own flavor while amping up others in a dish. Consequently, additional fat in the selection or mixture of the steakburger patty may translate to its enhanced flavor.
3. From seasoning to toppings, steakburgers tend to be more complex in layers of flavor than hamburgers. For example, while salt and pepper may be the standard seasonings for burgers, additional herbs, spices and other flavor elements are often incorporated into steakburgers.
What Makes Freddy’s Steakburgers Stand Out
For over 20 years, Freddy’s has been offering made-to-order steakburgers to our guests. From established classics like the Freddy’s Original Double to limited-time offers such as the Pretzel Bacon BBQ Steakburger, we take pride in developing delicious steakburgers while also enabling each dish to be customized to our guest’s specifications. Why choose our steakburgers vs. a basic hamburger? Find out a few of our secrets for spectacular steakburgers below:
Freddy’s Famous Steakburger and Fry Seasoning®: We understand the value of seasoning when it comes to our steakburger patties. It’s so important to us that we even developed our own specialty blend to elevate both our steakburgers and our shoestring fries. In addition to enjoying our seasoning with your choice of steakburger, consider enhancing the steakburgers you make at home with your own container of our savory seasoning mix. We also offer our own range of Freddy’s Famous Fry Sauces®, including Smoky and Jalapeño varieties, to further intensify the overall taste of our steakburgers.
Curated and customizable choices: Some of our guests come to try out our latest or most indulgent menu addition, like the Grilled Cheese Steakburger with its layers of two different cheeses and savory tomato spread on top of buttery Texas toast. Others appreciate the opportunity to make their own adjustments and alterations to menu items using an extensive range of steakburger customization options. From swapping a toasted bun for a lettuce wrap to choosing more toppings or changing the ones on a steakburger like the California Style Double, guests have the ability to create the most flavorful steakburgers that appeal to their tastes.
Elevated components: In addition to the beef cut, other components of steakburgers may be more refined than the typical burger. While lettuce, tomato, and American cheese are classic additions to burgers of all kinds, steakburgers are often used in gourmet burger preparations. Consequently, these burgers may feature garlic aioli, as found on our Prime Rib Steakburger, instead of mayonnaise, or specialty buns like Texas toast or pretzel buns.
Preparation: At Freddy’s, each steakburger is cooked-to-order so it is hot and fresh for our guest’s enjoyment. Premium beef patties are seasoned with our famous blend and feature crispy edges and a juicy middle. Steakburgers are then served on a toasted bun, unless otherwise specified, with the guest’s favorite toppings, as well their choice of sides and frozen custard treats. Given this careful preparation and attention to each diner’s customizations, the only question when choosing a Freddy’s steakburger vs. a standard hamburger is which steakburger from our menu you wish to enjoy.
Ultimately, the layers of flavor in any burger are determined by a variety of factors. However, enjoying a Freddy’s steakburger will reveal why Freddy’s is some of the best fast food around. Stop by the Freddy’s near you today to enjoy steakburgers, frozen custard treats and more!
