Healthy Beef Burgers Recipes

HEALTHY BEEF CALIFORNIA STYLE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Form 4 equal-sized patties.
• Cook the patties on a grill pan or griddle over medium high heat, a couple of minutes per side or until cooked to your liking (do not overcook, as this makes the beef dry).
• Turn the heat off the pan, and add 1 oz of cheese to each patty and cover the pan with foil or the pot lid for the cheese to melt.
• Combine the herb mayo sauce ingredients together to form the spread.
• Toast the English muffins. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the herb mayo spread on each English muffin.
• Top each English muffin with the cooked burger and cheese, a slice of red onion, mixed greens, and 1/2 ounce of avocado (or more to taste).

HEALTHY BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• As we said earlier, our first step is to remove the excess fat content from the minced beef. To do this, let's soak the beef in boiled water. 1. Place the minced beef in a large bowl. 2. Boil enough water to cover the beef. 3. When it starts boiling, turn off the heat and slowly pour the water into the bowl placed with beef. Using a spoon, gently give it a stir. At this point, you'll see a change in the color of the beef. Allow it to rest for about 2 minutes. This step will not only help to remove the fat content but also remove the blood and dirt from the beef. 4. Stir once again and transfer this to a steel colander. 5. Wash the minced beef under tape water twice. 6. Allow it to rest in the colander for about 10 minutes to strain excess water. 7. After 10 minutes, transfer the minced beef to a large bowl. 8. Add all the ingredients except oil and mix with a spatula until combined. 9. Now give a good mix with your hand until the mixture is good enough for shaping. 10. When its done, divide into equal portions. (We made 12 burgers with this.) 11. Shape each of them into burgers with your palm. Be light or you'll break it. 12. When you're done, place them in a separate plate and allow it sit in the fridge for about 1 hour. 13. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. If you put them on high heat, the insides won't get cooked well. 14. Place the burgers into the pan and fry them until both sides are browned. Another trick to keep the burgers moistened is to cover the pan with a lid while frying and you won't end up with dried burgers. Healthy homemade burgers are ready to be served. You can serve it with some sauce/ketchup or as a side along with plain white rice. They taste best when they are still hot.

HOME MADE BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat up the oil in a frying pan and add the diced onions.
• Reduce down the heat and let the onions sweat slowly, adding in the garlic to ensure it doesn't burn and become bitter.
• Add the beef to a mixing bowl and break up with your fingers.
• Tip in the onions and garlic, once cooled slightly and mix together thoroughly.
• Add salt and pepper and the dijon mustard.
• Pour in the egg and ensure that it has been mixed right the way through the beef and onions.
• Seperate the mixture into 4 portions and start moulding using your hands into burgers. Create a depression in the centre, this will ensure the burgers cook evenly and flat. Place in the fridge to chilled and stiffen.
• Once chilled and with the barbeque lit and the coals simmered down, place the burgers on the BBQ.
• Ensure that each side has sealed, if not they'll fall apart when you lift them off. Turn them over until cooked through or to the desired pinkness in the centre.
• Serve on crusty ciabatta with fresh watercress or leafy salad and enjoy. These can be frozen and defrosted for use later on.
