Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms
- 2 each, minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 large, sliced Avocado
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper until just combined. Do not overwork the meat to avoid tough burgers.
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, pressing gently to flatten them slightly. Set aside.
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, and thinly slice them.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and butter with the mushrooms, adding fresh thyme as well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until reaching your desired level of doneness.
During the last minute of cooking the burgers, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese perfectly.
To assemble, place one large lettuce leaf on a plate as the base. Top with a cooked burger patty, followed by sautéed mushrooms, avocado slices, and red onion.
Repeat the assembly for the remaining patties, finishing each burger with another lettuce leaf on top if desired.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Keto Gourmet Mushroom Burger!
