Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pound ground beef
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 2 packages Maitake Mushrooms, ends trimmed
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheese of your choice
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt and pepper. Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties, about 1-inch thick.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill fire. Grill the burger patties for 6-8 minutes total, or until desired level of doneness. Alternatively, you can cook the burgers in a frying pan on medium-high heat, 8-10 minutes total.
- In the meantime, heat a frying pan with the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter starts bubbling, add the garlic and the mushrooms and sauté for 2 1/2 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened. Add in the soy sauce and the Worcestershire sauce and continue to cook for another 1 minute.
- Assemble the burgers and top with the sautéed mushrooms.
