Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, serrano pepper, fresh parsley, half of the grated Monterey Jack pepper cheese, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning.
2
Gently mix the ingredients until well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3
Form the mixture into four thick patties, ensuring they are compact and even.
4
Lightly drizzle olive oil on a platter, and coat each patty on both sides with oil to help achieve a nice sear.
5
In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, place the patties into the skillet. Avoid moving them to allow for proper caramelization. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side before flipping and cooking for another 4-5 minutes on the other side or until cooked to your desired doneness.
6
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a platter. Top each patty with a quarter of the remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the platter with foil and place it in a warm oven to keep warm and melt the cheese.
7
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions and mushrooms until they are browned and caramelized, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
8
Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping the bottom to release any flavorful bits. Allow the alcohol to cook off for a minute.
9
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, milk, and Dijon mustard, mixing until combined. The sauce will thicken quickly.
10
Add butter to the sauce in small chunks, letting it melt completely for a glossy finish. Give the pan a final stir to combine.
11
To serve, place a patty on each plate and spoon the rich onion and mushroom sauce generously over the top.
12
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and enjoy a gourmet meal that’s sure to impress!
