Steamed Cheeseburger (Connecticut Style)

Recipe by First We Feast

A faithful recreation of the iconic Connecticut steamed cheeseburger using a home‑style multi‑stage steamer. The beef patty is gently steamed until tender, then topped with molten mild white cheddar, all sandwiched in a soft‑on‑the‑inside, slightly crisp Kaiser roll with classic toppings and a quick “special sauce.”

Critical Success Points

  • Season the beef patty before steaming
  • Maintain a rolling boil to generate steady steam
  • Steam the patty for exactly 10‑12 minutes to avoid over‑cooking
  • Melt the cheese for just 2 minutes so it stays gooey
  • Handle the hot patty with tongs to prevent burns

Safety Warnings

  • Steam can cause severe burns – keep face and hands away from the pot opening
  • The patty and cheese are extremely hot – use tongs when handling
  • Beware of hot water splashing when removing the lid
