Directions for Burgers

  • 1

    In a large bowl, gently combine sirloin, shallots, cilantro, garlic powder, black pepper and Mushroom Base. Form patties and place on a small, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper; cover and refrigerate.

  • 2

    In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; add mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are soft, about 10-15 minutes; set aside.

  • 3

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 ½ cups water to a gentle boil. Add Mushroom Base and reduce heat on stove to medium.

  • 4

    In another small bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup water and cornstarch until combined.

  • 5

    Slowly add starch slurry into saucepan and whisk until gravy thickens, about 2 minutes. Add pepper and sautéed mushrooms and stir to combine; set aside.

  • 6

    In the same large non-stick skillet with cooking spray, heat over medium-high heat and cook sirloin burgers; sear both sides. Reduce heat to medium, cook until desired temperature is reached. Heat mushroom gravy and serve over burgers.
