Burgers Asada

Many, many years ago I lived in Fayetteville, Arkansas. One of my favorite places to eat (and drink) was Jose’s, which is located right off the University of Arkansas campus. And my favorite thing to eat there was steak asada (a seasoned 10 ounce strip steak with ranchera sauce). I also make my own version, burgers asada. This is one mighty-tasty burger, despite being super easy to make. The key is to use a good, quality pico de gallo. It adds so much to the burger that cheese is the only other required ingredient.

Great Idea For Steaks and Chicken, Too!

You can use the same approach for burgers asada on anything, from grilled chicken to grilled steaks to turkey burgers. The cold, flavorful pico de gallo is fantastic on any grilled meat.

Asada means ‘grilled’ in Spanish. Go figure! I’ve heard that the steak and chicken asadas are no longer on Jose’s menu. Sad times, indeed! Perhaps they should add my burgers asada instead.
