Ingredients
12 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon hot sesame oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 lb ground chuck
2 eggs, beaten
4 pieces red leaf lettuce
1/4 cup peanut satay sauce (optional)
Method
Heat oils in a skillet. Add mushrooms and cook 5-8 minutes or until tender.
Prepare grill, remembering to oil grate (can also cook burgers on griddle or under the
broiler).
Mix together ground beef, beaten eggs, chopped scallions, soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch,
cilantro, and cayenne (may omit if you don't like it spicy).
Form burgers into 4 equal size patties and place on waxed paper until ready to cook.
Cook burgers about 15 minutes or until cooked through to your liking, flipping them over
once, but do not press burgers while cooking.
Toast buns. Serve burgers on toasted buns with sauteed mushrooms, lettuce, and a little
bit of peanut sauce (if desired). Use a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and cake rack
to keep the skewers off the foil, otherwise they will simmer in their own joices, becoming
tough and dry.
4 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2-3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 sandwich buns or kaiser rolls,
(split and toasted )
