How to Make Mushroom Swiss Burgers

Step 1: Cook the Mushrooms

Start by melting butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add sliced mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce.

Stir briefly, then cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.

Pour in the beef broth and let it evaporate, which takes around 8–10 minutes.

Once most of the liquid is gone, stir in minced garlic and black pepper.

Cook for another 3–4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Patties
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.

Form into four equal patties, about 4 ounces each.

Step 3: Grill the Burgers
Preheat a grill to medium-high.

Once hot, add the patties and grill for 4–5 minutes per side until they’re cooked to your liking.

During the final minute or two, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and let it melt.

Step 4: Toast the Buns
While the cheese melts, place your buns on the grill to toast lightly, about 30–60 seconds.

Step 5: Assemble the Burgers
Let the burgers rest on a cutting board for 3–5 minutes.

Then, place the patties on the toasted buns.

Top with generous spoonfuls of sautéed mushrooms and add any other toppings you love—like caramelized onions or arugula.

Serve hot!
