In an effort to keep consumers warm this holiday season, Steak ‘N Shake has brought back its famed Jalapeño Crunch Steakburger. Packed with heat and delivering a satisfying crunch, this new burger is the ultimate festive treat.
Steak ‘N Shake's Jalapeño Crunch Steakburger is part of the brand's limited-edition 2019 holiday menu. The burger consists of two 100 percent beef patties, topped with a spicy combination of chipotle mayo, pepper jack cheese, fresh salsa, jalapeños, and fried onions. The whole thing is served on a lightly toasted knotted bun and served with a side of fries.
To pair with the new Jalapeño Crunch Steakburger, Steak ‘N Shake has also welcomed back four festive holiday shakes. Returning flavors include Peppermint Chocolate Chip, Egg Nog, Pumpkin Spice, and Oreo Cookie White Chocolate.
