Burger King Kicks Off 2026 with the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper
Burger King introduces the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper on January 6, 2025, marking the latest addition to its popular “Whopper by You” initiative that transforms customer submissions into real menu items. The new sandwich represents the third fan-inspired creation in the series, following more than 600,000 guest submissions requesting steakhouse-style flavor combinations.
Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper Features Premium Ingredients
The Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper delivers bold flavors through a carefully crafted combination of premium toppings. The sandwich features 4.4 ounces of 100% flame-grilled beef served on a toasted sesame seed bun, complemented by golden onion rings, crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, melty Swiss cheese, and creamy peppercorn aioli. This ingredient selection reflects the most requested steakhouse elements from Burger King’s passionate customer base.
Whopper By You Platform Continues Fan Engagement Strategy
“Burger King has an incredibly passionate fanbase that loves the Whopper and constantly inspires us with creative new flavor ideas to bring to America’s best burger,” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C.
