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
- Sauté Mushrooms: Prepare the mushrooms by heating butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts.
- Add Mushrooms and Worcestershire: Add sliced mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce, stir to combine, then cook undisturbed for 5 minutes allowing mushrooms to brown.
- Add Broth and Evaporate: Pour in beef broth and cook for 8-10 minutes until the liquid evaporates, intensifying the mushroom flavor.
- Season Mushrooms: Add minced garlic and black pepper, cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Burger Patties: Combine ground beef, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Form into four 4-ounce patties evenly shaped.
- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high heat for perfect searing.
- Grill Burgers: Place patties on the grill, cook 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
- Add Cheese: During the last 1-2 minutes on the grill, top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese to melt.
- Toast Buns: Place brioche buns on the grill to lightly toast while cheese melts.
- Rest Burgers: Remove patties from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to retain juices.
- Assemble Burgers: Place rested burgers on toasted buns, top with sautéed mushrooms, and add any additional toppings as desired before serving.
Notes
- Using brioche buns adds a slightly sweet, soft texture that complements the savory burger and mushrooms.
- Ensure mushrooms are cooked without stirring initially to develop a rich browned flavor.
- Letting the burgers rest after grilling helps maintain juiciness.
- Optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or caramelized onions can enhance the burger experience.
- Using 80/20 ground beef provides the ideal fat content for juicy burgers.
