Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound sliced baby bella mushrooms (or sliced white button mushrooms)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Burgers
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns (recommended: brioche buns)
Instructions
- Sauteed Mushrooms: Prepare the mushrooms by heating the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the sliced mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce, stirring briefly to combine. Cook for 5 minutes without stirring to allow the mushrooms to sear.
- Simmer Mushrooms: Add the beef broth to the skillet and let it cook down for 8-10 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates, enhancing the mushroom flavor.
- Season Mushrooms: Add minced garlic and black pepper to the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Burger Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Gently form the mixture into four 4-ounce patties, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
- Grill Burgers: Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. During the last 1-2 minutes, top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese and allow it to melt.
- Toast Buns: While the cheese melts, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden brown.
- Rest Burgers: Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute within the meat.
- Assemble Burgers: Place each burger on a toasted bun, top with the sautéed mushrooms, and add any additional optional toppings as desired before serving.
Notes
- For a deeper mushroom flavor, use baby bella mushrooms instead of white button mushrooms.
- Make sure not to overwork the ground beef when forming patties to keep burgers tender.
- Resting the burgers after grilling helps retain juices and enhances flavor.
- Optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or caramelized onions can be added for extra texture and taste.
- Brioche buns add a slightly sweet and soft element, but any hamburger bun will work.
