Cooking on a Blackstone griddle makes dinner so much more fun — and so much easier. I love how it gives food a crispy edge while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful.
From quick stir-fries to full-on steak dinners, these Blackstone dinner recipes are some of my favorite ways to get a hot, delicious meal on the table without a lot of cleanup.
1. Blackstone Smash Burgers
There’s nothing like a juicy smash burger fresh off the griddle. I smash seasoned beef balls flat on the hot surface, letting them get those crispy edges, then top with cheese and stack them on toasted buns.

Press the burger balls down hard as soon as they hit the griddle to lock in the sear. I butter the buns and toast them right on the griddle too — it makes the whole burger taste even better.

3. Blackstone Fried Rice
This is a family favorite for busy nights. I toss cold rice with scrambled eggs, peas, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil right on the griddle. It’s fast, fun, and way better than takeout.

Use day-old rice — it fries better without getting mushy. I push everything to the edges of the griddle and pour the sauce in the center to caramelize a little before tossing it with the rice.

4. Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak
Thin-sliced beef, sautéed onions and peppers, and gooey cheese all piled onto a toasted hoagie roll — this is always a hit. The Blackstone makes it easy to cook everything at once and get that perfect caramelization.

5. Blackstone Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry
I make this when I want something fast and flavorful. I cook diced chicken with broccoli, carrots, and snap peas, then toss everything in teriyaki sauce right on the griddle. It’s sweet, savory, and perfect over rice.
