BURGER ELEGANCE WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, serrano, parsley, 1/2 the pepper jack cheese, egg, Worcestershire and grill seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
• Mix gently until all ingredients are combined well.
• Form 4 fat patties.
• Drizzle olive oil on a platter and coat both sides of the patties with the oil.
• Place patties in a hot (medium high flame) skillet. Don't move them! Let the patties caramelize on one side before flipping, then let them caramelize on the other side.
• When patties are done, transfer to a platter. Top each patty with 1/4 of the remaining cheese. Cover with a foil tent and place into a warm oven to melt the cheese. The foil tent helps the patties retain their juiciness.
• In the same skillet, drizzle in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Saute the onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms are a nice, rich brown, then season with salt and pepper.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up all the tasty brown bits. Let the alcohol cook off.
• Stir in Worcestershire, milk and mustard. The mixture will thicken up quickly.
• Gloss the sauce by dropping the butter into the pan in small chunks and letting it melt. When all the butter is melted, give the pan a final stir.
• When you plate the patties, spoon the onion mushroom sauce over each patty.
• Garnish with fresh chives.
• Enjoy!
