1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend, such as mccormick, or salt and black pepper, to taste |

4 crusty kaiser rolls, split and toasted |
1/2 pound mousse style pate, about a 1-inch slice -- pates are available near specialty cheeses in large markets |
8 cornichon pickles or baby gherkins, thinly sliced lengthwise |

Directions:
1. Preheat grill pan or grill to medium high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare coals.
2. Combine ground sirloin with wine, thyme, shallot, steak seasoning or salt and pepper. Form meat into 4 large patties, 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick. Drizzle patties with extra-virgin olive oil to keep them from sticking to grill or grill pan. Cook patties 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 8 minutes on each side for medium well.
3. Toast rolls under hot broiler or in toaster oven. Spread mousse pate on the bun bottom. Top with burger, cornichons and red leaf lettuce. Spread bun tops with grainy mustard and set into place.
4. Place greens and scallions in a medium bowl. Whisk tarragon, mustard and vinegar together and add oil in a slow stream. Pour dressing on greens and toss with tongs. Season salad with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Serve burgers with greens and Portobello Mushroom Fries .

10. Portobello Mushroom Fries :
11. 4 large portobello mushroom caps
12. Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus 1/4 cup
13. Steak seasoning blend, such as Montreal Steak Seasoning, or coarse salt and black pepper
14. 2 eggs, beaten
15. 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
16. 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
17. 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan
18. Preheat a grill pan over medium high to high heat.
19. Scrape the gills off the underside of portobello mushroom caps with a spoon. Brush caps gently with a damp cloth to clean them. Drizzle caps with oil to keep them from sticking to the grill pan and season the caps with steak seasoning or salt and black pepper.
20. Grill mushrooms 3 or 4 minutes on each side under a loose tin foil tent until just tender. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
21. Slice grilled caps into 1/2-inch strips. Turn strips in egg, then coat in mixture of parsley, bread crumbs and cheese. Cook fries over medium high heat in enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat a nonstick skillet in a thin layer, about 1/4 cup. Fries will brown in 2 or 3 minutes on each side.
