Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the napkins and ignite the paper.
3. Let the grill heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Prepare the Mushrooms

1. Place 1 tbsp of butter on the flat cooktop griddle near the center.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown.
3. Season with salt and pepper, then move them towards the cooler side of the griddle.

Step 3: Form and Season the Patties

1. Divide ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties.
2. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Brush each patty lightly with Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.

Step 4: Sear the Patties

1. Place the patties on the center grill grate and sear for 2 minutes per side for a deep crust.
2. Move the patties to the flat cooktop griddle to finish cooking to desired doneness.
3. Remove the patties from the grill when they are 15°F below the target internal temperature.

Step 5: Melt the Cheese and Toast the Buns

1. Place a slice of Swiss cheese onto each patty and allow it to melt.
2. Spread 1 tbsp of butter on the brioche buns and toast them on the flat griddle until golden brown.

Step 6: Assemble the Burgers

1. Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom buns.
2. Add the grilled patty with melted cheese.
3. Top with the sautéed mushrooms.
4. Place the top bun and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add caramelized onions along with the mushrooms.
• Using brioche buns enhances the buttery richness of the burger.
• Let the patties rest for at least 5 minutes before assembling.
• Use thick-cut Swiss cheese for a creamier melt.
• For a smokier taste, grill the mushrooms closer to the fire before moving them outward.
