Prepare the mushrooms by adding the butter and olive oil to a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and worcestershire sauce to the skillet, stir to combine everything in the skillet, then cook for 5 minutes without stirring.
After 5 minutes, add the broth to the skillet and allow it to evaporate, this will take approximately 8-10 minutes.
Once almost all of the liquid has cooked out of the skillet, add the minced garlic and black pepper to the skillet with the mushrooms.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, remove from the heat and set aside.
Burgers
Prepare the burger patties by combining the ground beef, steak seasoning and worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Form into four 4 ounce patties.
Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, add the burgers and grill for 4-5 minutes per side.
During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time, place a piece of swiss cheese on each burger patty.
Place the buns on the grill to toast.
Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest on a cutting board for 3-5 minutes before placing them on the buns.
Place the burgers on the toasted buns, top with the sauteed mushrooms and add any other optional toppings of your choice.
Notes
Optional additional toppings for the burgers:
Recommended:
Caramelized onions - click the link for my step-by-step guide to caramelizing onions. They can easily be made while you prepare the mushrooms and grill the burgers.
Burger sauce - combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles and 2 teaspoons dijon mustard in a small bowl.
Cooking a one inch thick burger for 4-5 minutes per side over medium-high heat will result in a medium burger. If you’d like your burger medium-well, add 1 minute per side. If you’d like well-done burgers, cook them for 6-7 minutes per side.
The mushrooms can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 7 days. When you’re ready to grill and assemble the burgers, simply heat the mushrooms up in a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or in the microwave for 2 minutes.
This recipe can be made on the stove. Simply cook the burgers on a grill pan, cast iron skillet, or the heaviest skillet you have available. Place the skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and cook for the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side. Add the swiss cheese on top during the last 1-2 minutes of cook time.
