Burger ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs 90% lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1⁄2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, grated and divided
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons steak seasoning (I recommend Grill Seasoning)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
Sauce ingredients
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 12 cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chives
- salt and pepper
directions
- Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, serrano, parsley, 1/2 the pepper jack cheese, egg, Worcestershire and grill seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix gently until all ingredients are combined well.
- Form 4 fat patties.
- Drizzle olive oil on a platter and coat both sides of the patties with the oil.
- Place patties in a hot (medium high flame) skillet. Don't move them! Let the patties caramelize on one side before flipping, then let them caramelize on the other side.
- When patties are done, transfer to a platter. Top each patty with 1/4 of the remaining cheese. Cover with a foil tent and place into a warm oven to melt the cheese. The foil tent helps the patties retain their juiciness.
- In the same skillet, drizzle in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
- Saute the onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms are a nice, rich brown, then season with salt and pepper.
- Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up all the tasty brown bits. Let the alcohol cook off.
- Stir in Worcestershire, milk and mustard. The mixture will thicken up quickly.
- Gloss the sauce by dropping the butter into the pan in small chunks and letting it melt. When all the butter is melted, give the pan a final stir.
- When you plate the patties, spoon the onion mushroom sauce over each patty.
- Garnish with fresh chives.
- Enjoy!

My review is for the sauce only. (I had ready burgers that had pretty much the same ingredients). This was a delicious sauce. I substituted half-and-half for the milk, and used a red onion, because I had one, but otherwise followed the recipe. An easy way to dress up any burger patty. I think it would be great with pork chops, too.

These were really good. My husband, who hates leftovers, said "I wouldn't mind if we had these again tomorrow night." If I could, I'd give this more than five stars! I didn't have the steak seasoning, but Shari (raisdbywolvz) says it's about equal parts fresh ground pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder and coriander. I didn't have coriander or the serrano pepper, so I put a pinch of chili powder in instead. Yum!
