Nothing could beat the craving of beef other than a cheesy beef cheeseburger. But why order when you can make a fantastic one at home. You can enjoy the burger or serve the beef patty with mushroom sauce on the top as a steak – choice is yours.

Ingredients

Beef Burger

• Ground beef chuck (80% lean), 1 ½ lbs
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• ½ large-sized tomato, slices
• Lettuce leaves, 2 crispy leaves
• Cheddar cheese, 8 slices
• 4 sesame buns, split

Mushroom Sauce

• Butter, 1 tsp
• Button mushrooms (sliced), 1 cup
• Fresh cream, 1 cup
• Salt, 1 tsp
• Freshly ground black pepper, 1 ½ tsp
• Garlic, 2 cloves (crushed)

Preparation

1. Place ground beef in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Divide the meat evenly and form 4 balls and shape them into patties. The patties should not be more than 1 inch thick.
2. Preheat a grill to high heat setting. Grill beef patties for 3-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desirable level of doneness. Flip and cook on the other side too.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the mushroom sauce. Heat butter in a saucepan over med heat. Add mushrooms and continue to fry until browned. Add cream and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes making sure the cream does not over boil. Once the sauce is half, add garlic and stir well. Cook for another minute and your mushroom sauce is ready.
4. When the patties are ready too, place on the buns. Top with 2 slices of cheddar cheese, 1 tbsp of mushroom sauce each, lettuce leaves and tomatoes. Cover with the bun and serve.

Note: If the burger seems too much, ladle mushroom sauce over the beef steaks and serve without buns.
