Beef Mushroom Burger Recipes

BEEF-MUSHROOM SMASH BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, sriracha and Cajun seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the burgers: In a large bowl, combine the beef and minced mushrooms. Divide the mixture into 8 balls, about 4 ounces each. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once the skillet is very hot and the butter has melted, add the beef balls (you may need to do this in a few batches, depending on the size of your skillet or griddle). One at a time, place a burger press over each beef ball (you may want to place a small sheet of parchment on the meat in case the press sticks). Smash each burger into a flat disk for 10 seconds, applying a lot of pressure. Repeat until all the burgers are smashed.
• Cook the patties 2 minutes, then flip. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and press down again with the press. Continue to cook until caramelized and charred, 1 to 2 more minutes. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and let melt, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bun bottoms. Top with some shredded lettuce and 2 patties. Add a fried egg, bacon and pickles if you want, and more sauce if you like it saucy. Close with the bun tops and enjoy!

MUSHROOM BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Remove ground beef from the refrigerator; let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Mix mushrooms, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Mix in beef. Form beef mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties.
• Grease an indoor grill pan with cooking spray. Cook patties in batches until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side.

MUSHROOM AND BEEF BLENDED BURGERS FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Pulse the sweet potato in a food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 8 pulses. Add to the sweet potato along with the ground beef, egg, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then mix with your hands until combined. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Season each side with a good pinch of salt and a few good grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Toss the scallions and poblano with the oil. Grill the scallions until lightly charred, turning halfway through with grilling tongs, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Grill the poblano, turning occasionally, until charred all over and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Grill the hamburger buns until lightly toasted and have some grill marks, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Brush the grill grates with some oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook, undisturbed (and with the grill uncovered), until the first side has developed nice grill marks, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers with a metal spatula and continue to cook until well browned all over, about 2 minutes more. Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese, then cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the burger has reached medium doneness, about 1 minute more. Transfer to the bottom bun halves.
• Thinly slice the scallions and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the mixture on the top bun halves. Thinly sliced the poblano, then divide among the burgers. Top evenly with the pickled jalapenos and lettuce. Sandwich with the top bun halves.

SOUTHERN MUSHROOM-BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the pimiento cheese: In a bowl, mix both cheddars, the cream cheese, pimientos, mayonnaise, chives, garlic powder, cayenne and paprika. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the reserved pimiento liquid to loosen slightly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the patties: In a bowl, combine the beef, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon black pepper. Form into 6 extra-large patties, about 8 ounces each. Make a little indentation in the center of each patty.
• Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 150˚ F to 155˚ F (I like my burger medium well), topping each patty with a large dollop of the pimiento cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking. If you like your patties more on the rare side, take them off the grill when the internal temperature reaches 140˚ F. Remove the patties and cover with foil for about 5 minutes. While the burgers rest, slather the buns with melted butter and place them on the grill for about a minute (keep an eye on them to avoid burning).
• Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise and barbecue sauce in a small bowl. To assemble the burgers, spread the barbecue mayonnaise on the bottom buns. Top with the lettuce and tomatoes. Add the burgers, red onions and pickles. Place the bun tops on the burgers.

BEEF-MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl; add the beef, garlic, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until combined. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties, season with salt and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Top each burger with a slice of Swiss cheese, cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and uncover.
• Meanwhile, put the edamame in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until the edamame is bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and toss with the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil; season with salt.
• Toast the English muffins, then sandwich with the burgers and toppings. Serve with the edamame.

MUSHROOM-BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high and oil the grates. (The burgers can also be cooked in a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.)
• In a food processor, working in 2 batches, pulse the mushrooms, scraping down the sides and bottom, until finely chopped but not puréed. Transfer to a large bowl and add the beef. Mix until well blended, then form into 8 equal patties, each about 4 inches wide.
• Season the patties with salt and pepper, and grill until lightly charred underneath, 3 to 5 minutes. Gently flip burgers and grill until golden and cooked to medium, 3 to 4 minutes longer, topping each with a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking. Transfer burgers to a large platter.
• Build burgers with buns, preferred toppings and condiments.

BEEF-MUSHROOM BURGER

Steps:

• Cook 8 ounces finely chopped cremini mushrooms in oil until browned; season with salt and pepper and let cool. Mix the mushrooms with 1-pound ground beef; form into 1/2-inch-thick patties and cook in a hot oiled skillet for 1 1/2 minutes per side.

MUSHROOM-SMOTHERED BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix 1/4 cup soup, beef, bread crumbs, onion and egg in a large bowl. Shape the beef mixture firmly into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) burgers.
• Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until they're well browned on both sides. Pour off any fat.
• Add the remaining soup, Worcestershire, water and mushrooms to the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the burgers are cooked through.

BEET, MUSHROOM AND BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Grate beet on large holes of a grater.
• . In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the oil for cooking until well combined. Shape into 4 patties. I like to pile the mixture into a 3-inch ring and pull the ring away, then when I place the patties in the hot pan I press them down with the back of my spatula so they are about 1 inch thick.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil, just enough to coat pan. Cook patties for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and serve. You can use a bun or not (I think they are fine without). Baby arugula, mizuna or spicy micro-greens make a very nice accompaniment.
