The new Nathan’s Famous Steak Patties are made with fresh beef, with no fillers or artificial flavors. They are available in two four-pack varieties, Original and Cheddar Cheese, at select retailers nationwide including Kroger, Super Target, and Publix.
Each quarter-pound Nathan’s Famous Steak Patty is seared, slow cooked, and individually wrapped to lock in flavor and freshness. Our unique pre-cook process allows consumers to dial-in their desired level of doneness by simply heating in the microwave for specified lengths of time.
“Nathan’s Famous Steak Patties give consumers exactly what they’re looking for – a fast, convenient way to enjoy a fresh burger in seconds, all without the hassles of the grill and regardless of the weather,” said Mike Paribello, Smithfield Foods senior director of marketing. “We’re excited to bring a premium beef patty to the refrigerated aisle and show how pre-packaged, pre-cooked patties can be an easy and delicious meal solution for families across the country.”
Smithfield Foods is the licensee of Nathan's Famous pre-packaged hot dogs, selling a wide variety of beef franks at more than 20,000 supermarkets and wholesale club stores across the country including natural casing, skinless, bun-length, 50 percent reduced fat, angus, and more.
