Beef Burgers With Mushrooms And Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Pulse the sweet potato in a food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 10 pulses. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse the mushrooms in the food processor until evenly and finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, about 8 pulses. Add to the sweet potato along with the ground beef, egg, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, then mix with your hands until combined. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Season each side with a good pinch of salt and a few good grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Toss the scallions and poblano with the oil. Grill the scallions until lightly charred, turning halfway through with grilling tongs, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Grill the poblano, turning occasionally, until charred all over and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Grill the hamburger buns until lightly toasted and have some grill marks, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Brush the grill grates with some oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook, undisturbed (and with the grill uncovered), until the first side has developed nice grill marks, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers with a metal spatula and continue to cook until well browned all over, about 2 minutes more. Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese, then cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the burger has reached medium doneness, about 1 minute more. Transfer to the bottom bun halves.
• Thinly slice the scallions and place in a small bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the mixture on the top bun halves. Thinly sliced the poblano, then divide among the burgers. Top evenly with the pickled jalapenos and lettuce. Sandwich with the top bun halves.

Steps:

• Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl; add the beef, garlic, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until combined. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties, season with salt and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Top each burger with a slice of Swiss cheese, cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and uncover.
• Meanwhile, put the edamame in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until the edamame is bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and toss with the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil; season with salt.
• Toast the English muffins, then sandwich with the burgers and toppings. Serve with the edamame.

Steps:

• Cook 8 ounces finely chopped cremini mushrooms in oil until browned; season with salt and pepper and let cool. Mix the mushrooms with 1-pound ground beef; form into 1/2-inch-thick patties and cook in a hot oiled skillet for 1 1/2 minutes per side.
