Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, whiskey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Remove the marinated meat from the refrigerator and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a 10oz burger patty, making a slight indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Burgers

  1. 3

    Grill or Cook in Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 4

    Cook Mushrooms

    In a skillet, add a little oil over medium heat and sauté the sliced mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and browned. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare Onion Rings

    Fry the onion rings according to package instructions or prepare homemade onion rings. Set aside.

  3. 6

    Make Whiskey Sauce

    In a small saucepan, simmer whiskey sauce over low heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the burger buns cut-side down and toast until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the lettuce, the cooked whiskey-marinated burger patty with melted swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, fried onion rings, and drizzle with whiskey sauce. Top with sliced tomato and place the top half of the bun on.
