Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef ((or ¼-pound patties of 80/20 to 85/15 ground beef or ground beef and pork combo))
  • 1 Tbsp steak seasoning ((see recipe, or use your favorite brand))
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 brioche buns ((see recipe, or use your favorite burger buns))
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 8 oz white mushrooms ((cleaned and sliced))
  • ¼ tsp each, salt & pepper ((to taste))
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instruction

  • If using ground beef, divide the beef into 4 portions to yield 4 ¼ pound burgers. Ground beef can also be divided to make 3 ⅓ pound patties, or 2 ½ pound patties. Shape each portion into a round then flatten to approximately 1-inch in thickness.
  • Heat a skillet with the butter over medium heat then add the mushrooms once the butter is melted and bubbling. Season with salt and pepper and saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, toss with sauteed mushrooms for about 1 minute then remove from heat and cover the mushrooms with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Heat your grill, cast-iron skillet, or non-stick frying pan to the hotter end of medium-high heat. Stovetop: Choose a cooking oil with a high smoke point and lightly coat your skillet or frying pan for indoor cooking.
  • Season the tops of each formed burger patty generously with steak seasoning. Place the patties onto the grill or into your skillet or frying pan with the seasoned side downward, then season the second side facing upward.
  • Cook the patties until they form a caramelized surface, which should take 3-4 minutes for a burger that is 1 inch in thickness, and up to 6 minutes for a burger that is 1 ½ inches thick.
  • Flip and cook the second side of the burger. Grilling: add cheese and close your grill cover for 5-6 minutes for a medium-rare burger.Stovetop: add a tablespoon of butter and spoon the melted butter over your burger patties for added richness. Add cheese, cover, and melt for 5-6 minutes to get medium-rare burgers.
  • Once cooked, remove the burgers from heat and allow the patties to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Assemble your burgers with sauteed mushrooms and your favorite condiments and toppings.
