6 oz Shiitake or a mix of fresh mushrooms, cleaned, tough stems removed and diced
Kosher or sea salt , freshly ground black pepper
A splash or two of good white wine
1 medium red onion or 2 shallots, diced
2 teaspoons mild curry , 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika, 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds, all grinded together in a Mortar and Pestle or a spice grinder
1 very large or 2 medium fresh beefsteak tomato, peeled and diced
1 pound organic ground beef 85% -15% lean
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup light coconut milk
2 teaspoons brown sugar
About 1 tablespoon or to taste, lime juice
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 cup cilantro or parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Fine Artisan bread or rolls of your choice
6 slices good quality melting cheese (I used Havarti cheese slices)

1
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat; add mushrooms and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt and some freshly grinded black pepper. Cook until mushrooms start to brown, about 7 to 10 minutes; add a splash of wine.
2
Partially cover the pan and cook over low heat (adding some more wine if needed) until the mushrooms are soft and the wine has evaporated. Transfer the mushrooms to a dish, cover and set aside.
3
Add and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil into the same frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften.
4
Stir in the curry and spice mixture and cook, stirring until onion just starts to brown and the curry and spice mixture is very fragrant.
5
Stir in soy sauce and then add the beef. and tomatoes. Using a wooden spoon break up beef into small pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
6
Add the reserved mushrooms, coconut milk and sugar, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until all of liquid is absorbed, about another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7
Taste the beef and mushroom mixture for seasoning and add whatever you think is needed. Remove from heat and immediately stir in garlic, cilantro or parsley and lime juice.
8
Make opened face sandwiches on slices of lightly toasted bread or spread the beef mixture on the bottom of a roll, top with a slice of cheese and melt the cheese under the broiler and then cover with top of the roll. Eat and enjoy!
9
These sandwiches are best while the beef and mushroom mixture is hot or very warm and when served with a nice salad or slaw. If you'll have some leftover beef and mushroom mixture, refrigerate it and when ready to eat warm it up in a pan over a low heat.
