Ingredients
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
2 tbsp butter (for mushrooms)
-
2 tbsp whiskey
-
1 tbsp brown sugar
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
2 tbsp butter (for garlic butter)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
-
4 slices Swiss cheese
-
4 brioche buns, lightly buttered
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
In a skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until golden. Add whiskey, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until glaze thickens, then set aside.
-
In a small pan, melt butter and cook garlic until fragrant. Stir in parsley and a pinch of salt. Keep warm.
-
Form ground beef into 4 loose balls. Heat a cast-iron skillet until hot, then smash each ball into a thin patty. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Flip patties once crisp on the edges. Immediately top with Swiss cheese and cover briefly until melted.
-
Toast brioche buns until golden. Layer patties on buns, add mushrooms, and drizzle with garlic butter. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with caramelized onions or add a dash of hot sauce to the garlic butter. Store leftover patties in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet.
