Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak
• 4 hamburger buns
• 1 cup sliced tomatoes
• 1 cup sliced red onions
• ½ cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded lettuce

How to Make Loaded Steak Burger

1. Start by marinating the flank steak. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated steak on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
3. While the steak is grilling, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a generous amount of sliced steak on the bottom half of each bun.
6. Top the steak with sliced tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños, and shredded lettuce.
7. Drizzle barbecue sauce over the toppings and place the top half of the bun on each burger.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your loaded steak burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to let the steak rest after grilling; this keeps it juicy.
• Adjust the level of spice by using more or fewer jalapeños.
• Experiment with different barbecue sauces for varied flavor profiles.
• Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking, aiming for 130°F for medium-rare.

Easy Variations

• Swap flank steak for ribeye for a richer flavor.
• Add cheese slices like cheddar or pepper jack for a melty twist.
• Incorporate avocado slices or guacamole for a creamy texture.
• Use a spicy aioli instead of barbecue sauce for a different kick.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Grilled corn on the cob
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• A side salad with your favorite dressing
