- 1 Preheat broiler to 375 F(175 C). Heat the onion, garlic and oil in a saute/fry pan over medium heat; cook till translucent/soft. Stir in mushrooms (we called for shiitake mushrooms, but just about any variety will work) and cook till soft, about 4 min.
- 2 Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, chili flakes, and sugar. Stir in 1/2 of the beer and bring to a simmer; cook till moisture has evaporated, about 20 min.
- 3 Combine the beef, Worcestershire sauce, and half the salt and pepper in a large bowl. While mixing the meat, add in the remaining beer as needed. Drink the rest. Shape the meat into 4** equal balls.
- 4 Flatten the balls with your palms. Use your thumbs to shape the sides. The patties should be of an even 1-inch thickness. Broil burgers to desired degree of doneness, 5-6 min for medium.
- 5 Adjust the seasoning of the relish with remaining salt and pepper. Place each burger on a bun and serve with the tomato relish and fixin's of your choice.
