Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds lean ground chuck
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 portobello mushrooms, stems trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
4 (4-inch) square or round ciabatta or foccacia squares, halved horizontally
2 cups fresh arugula

Directions

Combine the ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Shape the mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.

Lightly drizzle both sides of the mushrooms with the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl to blend. (The patties, mushrooms, and garlic mayonnaise can be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead. Cover them separately and refrigerate.)

Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the burgers until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill the mushrooms until just tender, about 5 minutes per side. Grill the focaccia squares cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

Spread the garlic mayonnaise over the roll bottoms. Cut the mushrooms into strips and arrange the mushroom strips over the mayonnaise. Place the burgers atop the mushrooms. Spread garlic mayonnaise on the cut side of the tops and arrange a handful of arugula on each. Cover the burger with the roll tops and serve.

Better than a restaurant burger!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are absolutely delicious. I am normally not a huge burger fan but I was really craving one so I decided to give this a... try. The only modification I made is I used cremini mushrooms instead of big portabellos, and I sauted them in olive oil with a little bit of onion instead of grilling (I think that gave them a little more flavor). I also used a stove top grill and that worked out great. Read more

Simple ingredients that blend together perfectly! I actually used this recipe to create a new recipe- instead of a hamburger,... I grounded the beef and made it into a pita with the toppings and beef inside.Read more
