Instructions
1
Preheat the broiler in your oven, adjusting the rack so it's about 6 inches from the heat source.
2
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the extra virgin olive oil. Add the finely chopped mushrooms, sliced garlic, and kosher salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3
In a medium bowl, combine the ground sirloin, chopped scallion, soy sauce, black pepper, and the cooled mushroom mixture. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
4
Form the mixture into a burger patty, ensuring it's slightly larger than your bun as it will shrink while cooking. Place the patty on a broiler pan.
5
Broil the patty for about 3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. In the final minute of cooking, place the Swiss cheese slice on top of the burger to melt.
6
While the burger is broiling, toast the seeded hamburger bun until golden brown.
7
Once the burger is cooked, spread a generous tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Layer with 2 small romaine lettuce leaves and 2 slices of tomato.
8
Carefully place the burger on top, then finish with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
