### This is a recipe created exclusively for Steemit Culinary Challenge # 11!!

This recipe was invented during the burger confection only with this in mind **"What kind of flavors I would like to taste?"**.

 It was prepared carefully, without any rush...and the result in terms of flavor exceeded my expectations! I'm so proud this time! My boyfriend said it was his best burger **EVER**!!

### This SCC has a clear rule: NO CHEESE! 
I found this one hard, that's why I tried to compensate that absence adding other kinds of flavors to the burger.



### Ingredients 
<sub>The ingredients were bought from local producers. </sub>

**Burger**
- 3 fresh cow beef burgers (100-150g each)
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 small glass of white wine
- olive oil, salt and black pepper (to taste)

**Onions**
- 2 medium onions
- 1 tablespoon of mustard
- olive oil, salt and white pepper (to taste)

**Mushrooms**
- 7 small mushrooms
- small bunch of coriander
- 1/2 small glass of white wine
- salt  (to taste)

### Preparation
**Onions**
- Unpeel the onions and cut into 0,3-0,5 cm slices. Add it to a frying pan covered with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, and let it cook a bit in a low-medium fire. After 5 minutes, add the mustard, stir again, and let it cook another 5 minutes. (Don't let it burn!)

**Meanwhile...a salad must be prepared**
- I had this amazing spinach and cherry tomatoes that I quickly transformed in a beautiful salad!! I add purple onion slices and seasoned​ it with olive oil, vinegar, salt with herbs and oregano.

**Burger**
- Wash the garlic cloves and smash it. In a frying pan add the olive oil, the garlic, and the bay leaf. Let it fry for 1-2 minutes, just to add the garlic flavor to the olive oil.
- Add the burgers and season with salt and black pepper. Let it fry for about 2-3 and add the white wine (third photo). Let it fry more 4-5 minutes and turn them (I liked them well done).

- When cooked, take them to a plate to rest the meat. Remove the bay leaf, you will need this frying pan again!

**Mushrooms**
- Wash and slice the mushrooms. Wash the coriander too. (This part wasn't planned, but I have the luck to have some in my balcony)

- Add the mushrooms and the coriander to the frying pan and stir for a while. Add the white wine, let it cook for 1 minute. Turn to a low-medium fire and let it cook for about 5-10 minutes.

**Bread preparation**
Personally, I don't like burger buns, I rather prefer our portuguese traditional wheat bread. I bought these ones in the morning, so they are (were) amazingly fresh!
- Cut the bread in half and warm it in the frying pan (yes, again!! You won't regret as it gets some of the flavor left in the pan)

I served this burger with a cold beer! **Perfect!!**
## Hope you enjoyed the recipe. 

I was happy with the final result, but for the first time on my "Steemit cooking posts", I didn't assure I had enough photos of the final presentation. I just wanted to eat the burger!! Sorry for that, not a very "professional" thing ;)
