Spicy Pepper Jack and Mushroom Sirloin Burger

Trust me when I say you need to make a burger using ground sirloin. If you thought that the 95/5 blend in the grocery store was good, this stuff will make your jaw drop. And then quickly close again so you can finish chewing! It literally tastes like you're eating a ground up slab of the best steak you've ever had. The burger doesn't even need any accompaniments, but I chose to whip up some spicy mushrooms to go with peppery cheese on top. Just because I always need extras on my burgers. This is a burger you're going to want again and again. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground sirloin beef
• 4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
• 4 buns

Mushrooms:

• 1 (8 oz.) package baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings:

• Avocado, sliced
• Caramelized onions

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. 

Divide the beef into four equal portions. Form into burger patties. Cook on the grill for 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

For the mushrooms: (This can be done well beforehand) Turn a small skillet or saucepan on medium heat. Add butter and melt. Add mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. The mushrooms will release a lot of water, but by the end of cooking they will absorb all the liquid in the pan. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and liquid is absorbed. 

To serve, place the burgers on a bun and top with some sliced mushrooms. Add avocado and caramelized onions, if desired.
