Steps

  1. Prep first: slice the onion and mushrooms, mince the garlic, cut the potato into wedges, slice the tomato and cheddar, and separate the romaine leaves.
  2. Toss the potato with half the olive oil and a quarter of the salt in a large skillet over medium heat, cover, and cook 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and browned; move to a plate and keep warm.
  3. Add the remaining half of the olive oil to the skillet with the onion and cook 10 minutes until soft and golden.
  4. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme and cook 6 minutes until browned; pour in the water to loosen the browned bits, cook 1 minute more, then move to a bowl.
  5. While the onions cook, put the beef in a bowl and add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper and the remaining three-quarters of the salt; mix gently and shape into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick.
  6. Sear the patties in the same skillet over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes per side until they reach 160°F (71°C) inside; lay the cheddar on top in the last minute and cover to melt.
  7. Set each patty on romaine leaves with tomato slices, spoon the mushrooms and onions over the top, and serve with the potato wedges.
