Burger Ingredients

Beer Braised Onions and Mushrooms

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, whiskey, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Beer Braised Onions and Mushrooms Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Mushrooms

    Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.

  3. 5

    Add Beer and Seasonings

    Pour in the beer, add brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens slightly.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 6

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked gouda cheese on each patty and close the grill lid or cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 8

    Build the Burger

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Place each patty on the bottom half of the bun, top with the beer-braised onions and mushrooms, and cover with the top half of the bun.
