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
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts. Add mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce, stir to combine, and cook for 5 minutes without stirring.
- Evaporate Broth: Pour beef broth into the skillet and allow it to evaporate over 8-10 minutes until almost all liquid has cooked out.
- Add Seasonings: Add minced garlic and black pepper to the mushrooms, cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Burger Patties: In a large bowl, mix ground beef with steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Form into four 4-ounce patties.
- Grill Burgers: Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side.
- Add Swiss Cheese: During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.
- Toast Buns: While burgers finish, place hamburger buns on the grill to toast until lightly browned.
- Rest Patties: Remove burgers from the grill and rest for 3-5 minutes on a cutting board.
- Assemble Burgers: Place rested patties on toasted buns, top with sautéed mushrooms, and add any optional toppings as desired.
Notes
- Use baby bella or white button mushrooms depending on preference.
- Allowing broth to evaporate concentrates mushroom flavor.
- Resting burgers after grilling helps retain juices.
- Steak seasoning can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- Brioche buns are recommended for their sweet and soft texture.
- Optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or caramelized onions pair well.
