Ok, I admit it. I sometimes buy cheap steaks on sale. They make for a quick lunch. Since I work from home I can just toss them on the grill and in no time I’m chowing down. But let’s face it. Cheap steaks aren’t the same as not-cheap-steaks so I often add a bit of something to kick them up a bit. This jalapeno onion steak and burger topping was so good I ended up making another batch to top some hamburgers later in the week. Sweet lightly-caramelized onions in a creamy sauce with just a little beat of jalapeno heat and a slight vinegary tang.

The Perfect Topping For Anything Grilled

Next time I cook up some hot dogs I’m going to make another batch of this jalapeno onion steak and burger topping. It’ll really crank up anything grilled, from hot dogs to smoked sausages to burgers to grilled chicken sandwiches, too! There’s not a tremendous amount of heat, so don’t be afraid that the topping is too hot. It’s quite mellow and packed with great flavor.

You don’t have to make these ‘spicy’. Instead, you can substitute other non-hot peppers. Sliced green bell pepper or poblanos will still add wonderful pepper flavor without adding the heat.
