Ingredients
Scale
For the Burgers
- 1 pound Ground Beef (80/20)
- 2 teaspoons Steak Seasoning (or salt and pepper)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce (use soy sauce for a vegan option)
- 4 slices Swiss Cheese (or provolone for different flavor)
- 4 Hamburger Buns (recommended: brioche; use gluten-free buns if needed)
For the Sautéed Mushrooms
- 8 ounces Mushrooms (baby bella or white button), sliced
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (substitute with olive oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ cup Beef Broth (vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce; sauté for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in ½ cup beef broth and continue cooking until the liquid evaporates, about 8-10 minutes, creating a flavorful mushroom topping.
- Form the Patties: In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef (80/20), 2 teaspoons of steak seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to avoid compacting the meat too much, then divide and shape the mixture into four evenly sized 4-ounce patties.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. This ensures a nice sear and even cooking of the beef patties.
- Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side to reach your desired doneness. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt perfectly over the burger.
- Toast the Buns: While the burgers finish, toast the brioche buns on the grill for about 1 minute or until lightly golden and slightly crisp, adding texture and warmth.
- Assemble and Serve: Let the cooked burgers rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices. Then place each patty onto a toasted bun, top generously with the sautéed mushrooms, and add any additional desired toppings or condiments before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce for a vegan version and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth for the mushrooms.
- For a dairy-free option, replace unsalted butter with olive oil and omit cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Gluten-free buns can be used to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Allowing the burgers to rest after grilling ensures juicier patties.
- Feel free to add lettuce, tomato, or caramelized onions for extra flavor and texture.
