1
Heat the broiler (these are difficult to cook on an outdoor grill).

In a medium frying pan, heat oil over high heat.

Add mushrooms, zucchini and onion; cook until the vegetables are softened and the liquid evaporates, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add garlic and 1 tablespoon of the steak sauce and cook until the steak sauce begins to evaporate, 1 to 2 minutes.
5
Stir in the parsley, basil and oregano, remove pan from heat and allow mixture to cool.
6
In a large bowl, beat together the Ricotta cheese and egg until smooth. Add cooled vegetable mixture, wheat germ, oats and remaining steak sauce.
7
Mix to blend well.
8
Divide mixture in fourths, shaping each portion into a 1 1/4-inch thick patty.
9
Place patties on a foil-lined cookie sheet.
10
Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
11
Set patties on broiler pan or a foil-lined cookie sheet and cook, turning once, until done, 6 to 7 minutes per side.

The outside should be well browned and burgers should feel firm to the touch.
