Ingredients
- 1¾ pounds ground chuck 80/20 blend
- 1 large sweet onion sliced
- 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 3-4 tablespoons butter
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- Blackstone steak seasoning or your favorite steak seasoning
- Essential blend seasoning salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder
- 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Additional butter for sauce
Instructions
- Form the Steaks: Divide the ground chuck into 3-4 equal portions. Shape each portion into square or oblong patties, about ¾ inch thick. Don’t overwork the meat to maintain tenderness.
- Season the Meat: Generously season one side of each patty with blackstone steak seasoning, making sure to coat the edges. Set aside with seasoned side up.
- Prepare Vegetables: Slice the sweet onion and prepare the shiitake mushrooms. Mince the garlic and set aside.
- Cook Vegetables: Heat the griddle to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and cook the onions and mushrooms until caramelized and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season with essential blend seasoning.
- Add Garlic: In the last 2 minutes of cooking vegetables, add minced garlic to prevent burning. Move vegetables to one side of the griddle.
- Cook the Steaks: Place the chopped steaks seasoned-side down on the hot griddle. Season the top side while cooking. Cook for 3-4 minutes until a nice crust forms.
- Lip and Finish: Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium doneness.
- Make the Sauce: Add any drippings from the steaks to the vegetables. Add Worcestershire sauce and a pat of butter to create a rich sauce.
- Serve: Place the chopped steaks on plates and top generously with the caramelized onion and mushroom mixture.
