Ingredients
Scale
Sautéed 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
- Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and heat the olive oil together. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to coat evenly and cook without stirring for 5 minutes to let them brown.
- Cook Mushrooms with Broth: Add the beef broth to the skillet and allow it to evaporate, which will take about 8-10 minutes. This step intensifies the mushroom flavor and softens them further.
- Season the Mushrooms: When the liquid is nearly evaporated, add minced garlic and black pepper to the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Form Burger Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat. Form into four evenly sized 4-ounce patties.
- Grill the Burgers: Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
- Add Swiss Cheese: In the last 1-2 minutes of grilling, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to allow it to melt.
- Toast the Buns: While the cheese melts, place the hamburger buns on the grill to toast lightly.
- Rest the Burgers: Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place the rested burger patties on the toasted buns, top with the sautéed mushrooms, and add any optional toppings of your choice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use brioche buns for a rich, buttery flavor that complements the mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
- For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling.
- Feel free to add toppings like lettuce, tomato, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
- To make ahead, sauté the mushrooms and store them in the fridge; reheat before assembling the burgers.
- You can substitute baby bella mushrooms with white button mushrooms if preferred.
