Beef Burgers with Mushrooms and Swiss Cheese
Beef Burgers with Mushrooms and Swiss Cheese
Using a Chef’s Blend of mushrooms really does amp up the taste experience! Enoki mushrooms are a little treat in addition to a Chef’s Blend.
Cook the mushrooms just before the burgers are done and serve with any sides you prefer.
Ingredients
- 2 large beef burgers
- 100 gr. Chef’s Blend Mushrooms or any gourmet mushroom
- 2 TBSP butter
- 2 slices Swiss Cheese
- Salt and Pepper
- Red onion slices condiments and lettuce to garnish
Instructions
- Lightly season beef with salt and pepper.
- Heat grill to 400 and cook burgers, flipping regularly until nearly cooked through.
- Cut cheese slices in half so they will fit on the burgers and place on beef. Close barbecue lid and let rest until cheese is melted. Remove burgers from grill.
- Meanwhile roughly chop mushrooms.
- Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
- Add mushrooms to pan, lightly salt and pepper; and cook for 4 – 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Garnish burger as desired and serve with mushrooms.
Notes
We’ve tried many wines over many summers. Pairing the beef with the richness of the mushrooms has taken some effort but we were up for the challenge!
Even if you are tempted stay away from the bigger wines like a Cabernet Sauvignon or even a Tempranillo blend. Our best pairing thus far has been an Old-World Chianti.
