Steak n Shake Double n Cheese Steak burger ~ Copycat Recipe

[@valcomm5]

You did a killer job on that burger. It looks fantastic and there's no doubt that it taste fantastic as well. Great job

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Russ, and thank you for the request! Really easy to do burgers, and man those different cuts of steak really gives it such a great flavor! I will be making these again for certain!

[@seakay5705]

I work at Steak ‘n Shake and this is spot on. The only thing missing is the savory seasoning we use, I have no idea what’s in it but it is like a drug. I’ve been trying to find out the recipe for a while.

[@Catolystc]

Steak ‘n Shake recipe for savory seasoning is garlic and onion power, paprika , salt , sugar, turmeric, dried parsley flakes, black pepper and olive oil.

[@BubOutdoors]

As an ex Steak n Shake manager that started as a grill-man, I have to say you did a pretty good job of replicating that Double Steak with cheese!

[@nathan0717]

Going heads up with big companies and showing them up like this is how people mysteriously go missing! So youtubers if he goes missing he either got a big check to stop what he's doing or Steak 'n Shake CEO told his lesser's to "take care of him"! But on a more serious note this video is nothing less than what I expected from the culinary Batman I've been watching for about two years now! Thumbs up as always! (And due to the fact you didn't use mayo!!!! Big plus)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

LOL, I LOVE this comment! Thanks Nathan :D

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Good job on your recreation. Looks exactly like the restaurants burger. Looks delicious.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you I appreciate you checking the video out!

[@getoutandgrill]

Amazing how simple these burgers are and how incredible they look.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Simple usually is better in my experience Chris. That combo of steak sure made for a tasty burger. Thanks for watching Chris!

[@TheWolfePit]

Simplicity at it's best! Man that flat top on the firebox worked perfect too Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

It truly is Larry! Yeah man, I'm loving the griddle on my offset!

[@BlackEagle19]

awesome looking burger i like simple easy tasty delicious burgers and the smashing method makes a great crust on the meat

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Christian, and your absolutely right about the awesome crust that forms on these super thin burgers . Great stuff brother!

[@DaTrooch]

I agree, I think yours looks better Rus. Great cook. Again, thoughts and prayers to your family and all those in Texas.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! My cousin Traci that I mentioned in the live video has her house going under water at this very moment! Such a helpless feeling and nothing you can do until it's over. I really feel so bad because I know exactly what she is about to go through.

[@donfinch862]

quick and simple, nice one. Yum. Never made straight meat patties - have to give that a go

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Don Finch Thanks for checking the video out!

[@jlopez47]

I don't doubt for a second when you say it tasted better than at the restaurant. Great video!

[@Gquebbqco]

That is one of my favorite fast food Burger Rus - I used to eat them all the time back in St. Louis usually after midnight and a few beers haha - You did it proud, Im missing those as they don't have em out here in Colorado! Great video!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+GQue BBQ Thanks Jason, I really enjoyed this burger! Thanks for checking it out!

[@ShakeJuntJr]

He had the Salt Life shirt. He’s the real deal. Great video!

[@terrysharing]

That's a burger we would love Rus! We like a more coarse grind and simple additions. Great!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Terry Lyle I like them like this too Terry. Thanks for stopping by!

[@Juanelo1946]

Rus, wow, what great cuts of meat you ground up! The hockey puck mold did its job! I love burgers on a griddle! They seem to hold on to their moisture and flavor better. This was a towering burger of tastiness you created! Awesome job!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for the great comments John! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Hey brother that burger looks right up my alley! I'll be trying this you can believe that! Great video Russ!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Rich's River Smokers West Virginia Thanks Rich, I appreciate you checking it out!

[@johnny-bracer6515]

that looks like a seriously good burger! nice meat mixture, by far your cuts are the best of all the tastes & textures from our friend the cow. I'm going to try this tonight

[@TheDonOfNY]

This is the most American video I’ve ever seen. And I love it

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Superb Rus. Thank you. This i will try for sure

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you and you are welcome!

[@redblue40rc33]

grilled us some burgers yesterday, with chopped fresh sweet onion inside burgers.........sooooo good...cheers....also i like to use the tony chacheres seasoning too in my burgers

[@Abom79]

Excellent burger Russ! Yours looked mighty good. That is one of Abby's favorite burger joints, although she doesn't eat burgers.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Adam! I appreciate you checking it out! I didn't even know we had a Steak n Shake lol! It's buried inside a casino here in Biloxi. I ate at one in Illinois quite a bit when I was up there in 2005-2006

[@rebelrouzer]

Rus, you did a great job on that burger !! It looks so much better than any I've seen at the restaurant. I guarantee it tastes better !! Keep on rockin' !!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate the comment!

[@EverydayBBQ]

Wow that looks scrumptious!! Great job! Glad we met yesterday in the Facebook group, I think I'm gonna really enjoy your productions!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Everyday BBQ Thanks I appreciate it, glad we met too! Take care

[@ammohead73]

Wow!!! Now that's a burger,awesome!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks brother, I appreciate you checking the video out!

[@amandakuzma7857]

That looks absolutely delicious!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you, I appreciate you checking it out!

[@leonardbywaters7184]

Wow does that look good !! Going to give this a shot.

[@PAPATexas]

Awesome burger. I don't like "salad" on my burger. But I use Ranch and mustard. Awesome!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+PAPA Texas I can eat them either way but this video was more about how SnS does them if you don't request changes

[@silentprotagonist4705]

I wish I made a burger that looked that good when I worked at SnS. We normally season our burgers with a season I have only ever called "Savory seasoning" you did a great job and I am excited to make some homemade burgers now, been missing my old work family.

[@roosterfam3302]

Looks good, We'll have to try it...

[@uncledick8562]

Usually I roll the beef into a meatball. I then smash it on the cast iron griddle. I'll give this method a try. Looks great.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

That's what I normally do too Mike, but trying to stay true to the way they do it, I did it there way, and it actually works very well

[@ChadChadillac]

Oh ya, friggin killer, buddy!!!!!!! Got me droolin for sure. Cheers Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

LOL Chad! Thanks brother and cheers!

[@MOJOsKrazyKitchen]

Did a great job Rus... looks better... and like you said... taste better too.. you did a great job! Thanks for sharing!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you Julie and Michael, I sure appreciate it, and your always welcome :)

[@Kimmie0323]

Gosh Rus, that looks fantastic! I don't think there is nothing you can't do!!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks so much Kim, I appreciate you always! You have been supporting my channel for a long time and just want you to know that I really appreciate it :)

[@Kimmie0323]

Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Very welcome friend!!

[@devindominic951]

Hey I work at a Steak 'n Shake and our burgers come with mayo and mustard too! And we use a savory seasoning for our burgers! That seasoning you have is what a lot of people put on fries! We don't use that one you have to season the patties! But overall I'd say you have it down perfectly!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yeah, I mentioned that you can get mayo or mustard, or how ever you want it, but when I was served I asked for a Double n Cheese and didn't request anything different and all I got was ketchup. I really couldn't detect any kind of seasoning blend on the burger that I got here at our Steak n Shake, but even if I would have, I wouldn't have had a clue what they use, so salt and pepper it was, and I can honestly say, it was better than what they served me, and looked more like what they show in their photos of this burger. Someone in my live feed told me they used salt and pepper, and I was already thinking the same thing, so that's what I went with. Overall very close to their burger. Thanks for watching!

[@ArmoredSaint63]

What seasoning is that?

[@Sarahloveoffic]

@Rod Fogle its literally sourdough bread, with two slices of cheese, one on each slice of bread, butter the outside of the bread, and toast that side until its golden. Thats all

[@randycorreia349]

In Sacramento is a place called Squeeze Burgers they make them like this but they used grated cheese. Than they squirt water around the burger than cover it. The steam melts the cheese really nice. Thanks for the video Russ 👍

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I've heard of them. Bet they are good!

[@mikevan5219]

Ive tried this recipe its excellent. I have to agree its a little better.

[@edarrington3280]

Looks great always enjoy your videos keep them coming!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@progers5019]

You do all things well. Love watching your videos. Love the smash meat burger method. Never tried it. Yours (homemade) version looks great. Love that pit griddle. I slobbered over that pit before ending up with what I got. (Still nice pit) but next bracket down. Great job Rus.

[@davidfe47]

Au Contrare [sp?] This exactly the real steaks Steak and Shaake uses. Russ is honest about the % Mix. Rus next time sit at the counter and watch all the grill activity. I have many times over the decades. The patties come FROZEN...wonder what the science of freezing does to change it? GREAT VIDEO---only missing smell over the internet.

[@progers5019]

E'fd Communications sorry, sometimes I overstate things and this was one of those times. I edited my statement. Thanks Efd C

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Phil, I appreciate the comments! Yeah, that griddle on the LSG is a major plus to owning this smoker. I have a grate for the firebox as well to use as a grill as well. Haven't used that yet. I have plenty of grills lol!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yeah, I figured their patties are shipped in frozen, thawed then cooked. More of a fast food joint even though they don't claim to be. Freezing never does anything good for meat, I'm sure it's just a system to supply all the chains the perishable products in bulk and eliminating any in house grinding of meat which would slow things way down at a place like this. All fast food places get most of their product sent in frozen. Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

That's a fine looking burger Russ...thumbs up Big guy.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Ray Mack's Kitchen and Grill Thanks Ray, I appreciate you watching!

[@lildapp76]

Looks good have to try and make em

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you!

[@cuepee1972]

Great looking burger

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Quinn!

[@neglectedbbq4605]

True professional !!! Amazing

[@scorpionsedge]

I just had pork chops for for dinner, but I bet I can find room for one of those burgers. They look awesome! Thanks for the video.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate you checking the video out and your welcome!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Great looking burger Rus! We don't have Steak 'N Shake around here. Nice job filming and editing as well!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Jim! I didn't think we did either lol! It's buried inside of a local Casino here in Biloxi

[@_rdque8274]

Love the vids Russ!! Keep up the great work! One of my favorite channels!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Randy, I appreciate that! Glad your enjoying the videos!

[@jeffincabo]

Hey Rus, being born and raised about an hour south of St. Louis, I would say you did a damn good job ! These things, and of course White Castles, and Imo's pizza give me motivation to make the 10 hour drive every year from Monroe, LA . They do have a Steak N Shake in Southaven, MS, and sometimes we will split the drive up just to get an early burger. ( I am getting older ! )

[@SouthernCoastalCookingTM]

Looks very good Russ. I have been wanting to make a smash burger

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Joe, I think you will love a burger like this

[@lnorrisn.7140]

Delicious...

[@fishing4fun903]

Looks awesome!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks you, it was really good!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

I love Steak and Shake burgers. I have no doubt that yours are 10 times better Russ! I really like the Philly burgers that they had but they don't sell it anymore. Sounds like a video, maybe I'll give it a go.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

That Philly burger sounds good! To bad they don't offer it anymore. Would love to see the video, and make my own then :D

[@michaelvos]

Great cook!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you!

[@tomstestkitchen]

Great looking burger Rus, I like that flattop you have for you offset. I've never had a Steak n Shake burger but it looks similar to Smashburger.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Tom's Test Kitchen Thanks Tom! They have been in business since 1938 and this is the way they have always done their burgers. More of a mid west chain but we have them in the south and they are moving west as well

[@foodjazz]

Oh wow, Rus...I want one of those burgers! You could put Steak N Shake out of business!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+food jazz Really good burger Karen! Simple is often times the best

[@queenblackdiva]

looks tasty!!

[@boots410]

Looks great Russ. What kind of meat grinder are you using, and do yuolike it?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Steve! No more than I use a grinder, this one does a good job. I put a link in the description box for people interested in it, because I always get asked about it. Not a bad grinder at all for under $100

[@johndavidson940]

That looked like a great burger. We have Culver's and they have a very similar burger. Their commercials say they also use 3 cuts, Sirloin, Chuck and plate. Not sure what plate is, but their burgers are super good. I agree, there is nothing complicated about making a great burger at home. But gotta have the right ground beef. Chuck if freshly ground usually does the trick for me. A Sirloin and Chuck blend is also a good choice.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks John! This smashing concept seems to be popular with a number of burger joints. Plate is the area where skirt steak comes from. I bet that's a really good mix!

[@JamesBond-cr5bg]

look good. now I'm Hungry thanks

[@haroldmusa]

Lookin good as usual Rus. I've heard the meat from beef short-ribs makes a great burger too. Maybe add some of that next time.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Harold, and yes, beef short rib meat is excellent to grind for a burger, but in this video I showed how SnS does theirs. It's pretty darn good!

[@cmd871]

like your videos gonna make a steak and shake burger tonight!

[@TheHollarBBQ]

Good job Rus. Man I got to get me a griddle.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Kevin! I've got three different griddles, acually 4, but I love using this built in on the offset smoker. I may purchase a Black Stone griddle one day, just for the added space.

[@RobertFireLionBlueHawkWinkler]

I love Steak n Shake. We go there every couple of weeks. I once had a so-so meal (my wife's was fine) and when the manager came by to ask how the food was, I told him that mine was not up to par so he gave us both of our meals free! Now they got a loyal customer.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

When I was up in Illinois back in 2005 we would eat there on a regular basis as well. Yeah, that's great customer service right there!

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

I'd much rather have yours, any day!! It looked absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing😃

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you Christy! Something about homemade always seems to be better to me :)

[@mrbadx19]

no doubt the lettuce and tomato you added were fresher than what they would use. when i go out to eat, i like Red Robin, it's a 10 mile drive, but a 1/2 pound burger and "bottomless" fries (i tend to eat 3 servings of them) makes a great experience.

[@tangojoe9694]

I would consider it a personal challenge to peer down every burger you cooked up here Rus! Righteous Burger Greatness!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Joe! I appreciate you checking it out!

[@oren5230]

Looks tasty to me. I'll have two please. Rus, In a recent video you mentioned a gimbal for one of your cameras. Would you be so kind to post a URL so I can check it out. I've been looking into gimbals for a while now. Thanks.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Very tasty and thanks! I actually have two gimbals. The one for my iPhone 7+ is a Osmo and the gimbal I have for my GoPro 5 is a Karma. I like them both

[@finny5093]

Amazing Burger. Man that looked fine....

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@kathystevens9275]

Looks awesome again Rus! Wish I had a bite ;) Great Video!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Kathy! I appreciate it!

[@PaiviProject]

Hi Rus. I think I might had Steak & Shake burger ones. Yours looked outstanding ! Only thing I would have added was some kind of mayo sauce. I know you were doing the copycat version. Very nice Burger ! Good job ! Have a great week ! :)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Hi Paivi! I ate at the Steak n Shake there in Bellville many times when I was living up there in Illinois. We really enjoyed it. Yeah, you can get what ever you like on the burger, you just have to tell them how you want it. Thanks for watching and you have a great week too!

[@smokinjoes9383]

Russ, Awesome job my friend! I gonna go out on the limb and just let you know you NAILED IT! You should name it "Russ's All American Smash Burger". Enjoy & Happy Smokin'

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Hey, thanks so much Joe, I sure appreciate the comments brother!

[@AnonyMous-gs2gw]

Whenever I go, they never put ketchup or mustard on it for you. They always leave it plain and let you do it at your table, but I prefer that because places like McDonald's or Wendy's sometimes put too much or too little. It might be different to-go though

[@tonyt8281]

Russ, I grew up in Belleville, I have ate at that Steak and Shake (many years ago) yours are definitely better.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

That's pretty awesome to hear Tony! I really liked Belleville, but had to get back to my roots as soon as I was able after hurricane Katrina turned us upside down for awhile. I appreciate man!

[@AussieAngeS]

OMG Rus I wanna try one of those Burgers so bad :( it looks amazing and you did an amazing job on it.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you so much Angie! I sure appreciate you! :D

[@AndalusianLuis]

Before I got to the last part of the video I knew your burger was going to be better because of the cuts you used. No way a restaurant chain actually uses those kinds of cuts in their ground beef, no matter what they say. Anyways, love your videos good sir, looking forward to the next!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I tend to agree with you on that, and thank you for checking the video out, I really appreciate it!

[@mattcovington779]

Great job on this Rus! Your version looks even better than the original. If you haven't already try the frisco melt s it is really good in my opinion. Also, nice looking tomato. Take care brother-

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Matt! I think the Frisco Melt is what my son had yesterday. I'll have to try it next time. Cheers Matt!

[@nicoletara353]

i saw them use that seasoning today

[@MrScottcollier]

Mouth watering triumph.

[@genesisdos1968]

A minor question for You. What is the diameter on that cookie cutter? I described this method to someone who felt it relevant, and I was not sure how to answer.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I would say about 1 1/2"

[@madswinebbq]

Yesterday marked my first day as a vegetarian. I watched this video and I was saved from a terrible mistake. Steak & shake here I come!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

+Ruben Alvarez 😂🍔👍

[@ArmoredSaint63]

Ok but does it have that taste, the taste that can't be missed? That's what im looking for. Thanks

[@bbqsmokernc7252]

Cool man.

@Mr. Russ Jones what are you making for September 16th??? Mexico Independence Day & Canelo/Triple G Fight Night

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I'm always open to ideas. What do you suggest? I will do my best :)

[@rafaelperez9504]

Great job on that burger.

[@offgrid6369]

In Daytona,The S and S had the best silver Dollar hash browns with bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a coffee,yummm

[@brandonmcgannon9582]

Know this comment is a year old, but felt obligated to say that the Steak n Shake on the corner of Speedway and Beville in Daytona more or less single-handedly fed me through all of my undergrad. Almost felt emotional going there for the last time!

[@jackslammy4159]

with love as usual

[@gregb77]

Add a couple of slices beetroot, some bacon and a fried egg with runny yoke and that burger would be perfect! A burger including the ingredients above in Australia we call it a steak burger with the lot or kitchen sink steak burger

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I was showing how Steak n Shake does a particular burger on their menu. I love bacon and egg on a burger, but had to follow the steps on this one, even though you can get bacon added there. Probably and egg as well if you ask them to do it, but I kept it as it's designed. Thanks for watching!

[@billyjoe3014]

That right there what you did was a smash burger. Steak n shake smashes twice. First smash is a semi smash then season, flip it and smash it completely then season again.

[@mikew4098]

Awesome as usual 👍 homemade is always better IMO.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Mike! Yeah, I totally agree about homemade always being better! Especially burgers!

[@mikew4098]

Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine can't beat a great burger! Watching the news, thoughts and prayers from upstate NY are with you, your family, friends and anyone affected by hurricane harvey may you all be safe ! 🙏

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you!

[@Ralphie_Boy]

*Long time no view Russ you gotta do a bit of complaining to youtube they're not announcing your videos at least to me, thumbs up brother on this segment!*

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

What I do when I get on youtube which is daily, is I click on subscriptions that's in the drop down menu on the left. That will show you anyone who post videos on a daily basis. I'm assuming you have already clicked on the bell icon and turned notifications on, so you can be alerted by email? Hope this helps and thanks for watching Ralphie Boy :D

[@pmcgaughy]

Actually closer than these pretenders using just 80/20 ground Chuck. Good work! I chastised two idiots putting up crap!

[@kobitkakustomsoffroadadven7187]

That is an awesome replica you should do more replicas like this of different places and different foods I really liked this

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you! I actually started a series on Patreon where I visit local restaurants and then come back home to duplicate what I had from their menu. Got one video up in the series already, but if Patreon doesn't work out like I'm hoping it does, then I will be uploading them here on KZbin. So far it's not looking very promising, but I'll give it some time.

[@foodiemelbournedelifoodmel3856]

Where can I get full recipe ?

[@BiggsHomeCookin]

Great burger Rus! I think when the burger is that thin it's going to have more char flavor and be crispier. I was going to mention about making them into a meatball and then smash, but I see you answered in another comment. If you were making a boatload of them going the meatball way would be a heck of a lot easier. Thanks! Biggs : )

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Bigg's! Yeah, I normally do use the meatball method, but being this was a copycat video of Steak n Shake, I wanted to show how they do it. It actually works very well! Thanks for watching!

[@davidhartding800]

That goes on fries along with some pickled pepper sauce.

[@mrglock2313]

Nice job. To bad steak n shake won't be around to much longer in the future.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Great COPYCAT there Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Greg! Steak n Shake don't really hide much, so this was a really easy one to do.

[@craig9170]

Hi Rus, It seems like you've kicked up your audio video production because I could just about taste that burger from here. Great job on the grill. I've been watching Harvey, stay dry in the days to come. Cheers and I look forward to your next cook. Craig

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Craig! We haven't been dry all summer lol, but only showers. Houston is a mess right now! Cheers

[@traviscagle2011]

jeeze man i wish u were my neighbor lol you would go in and i would raid your grill but i would leave beer hahaha

[@JusPiddlinBBQ]

Hard to beat Steak n Shake for a good burger at a great price..........unless you do it in your yard at the house! That's even better!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I totally agree Sandy! Thanks for watching!
