Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing mushrooms and onions uniformly. Ensure ground beef is at room temperature for even cooking.
- Season ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Gently mix ingredients without overworking the meat to maintain tenderness.
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal patties, creating a slight indentation in the center to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook patties for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adjusting time based on preferred meat temperature.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms and onions until they become golden brown and caramelized, about 6-7 minutes.
- Remove patties and let rest for 2-3 minutes to retain juices. Meanwhile, lightly toast lettuce leaves to enhance their texture.
- Assemble wraps by placing burger patty in center of each lettuce leaf, topping with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- Carefully roll or fold lettuce leaves to create a compact, easy-to-eat wrap. Serve immediately while ingredients are warm.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let your ground beef sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and a juicier patty.
- Don't Overwork the Meat: When forming patties, handle the ground beef gently. Overworking can make your burgers tough and dense.
- Create a Dimple: Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up and ensure uniform cooking.
- Let Meat Rest: After cooking, allow your burger patties to rest for 2-3 minutes. This helps retain those delicious, flavorful juices.
- Caramelization Magic: Take your time sautéing mushrooms and onions. Slow, steady heat creates those beautiful golden-brown edges that add depth to your wrap.
- Choose Fresh Lettuce: Use crisp, large lettuce leaves like butter lettuce or romaine for the best wrap texture and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed right after assembly to maintain the perfect temperature and texture.
