Get ready to grill some yummy burgers.

Preheat the bbq gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat.

Shape the beef into 6 burgers; season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl , combine the mustard, the soy sauce and the sugar to make the glaze.

Grill your burgers until doneness is to your desire, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare, brushing the burgers with the glaze about midway through. Just a minute before removing the burgers from the grill, finish with the cheese.

n the meantime, heat oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Apply the thyme and garlic and cook until the mushrooms are tender, around 3 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Toast the buns and deliver the burgers with the mushroom top.
