Herb Loaded Beef Burgers
Description
This recipe starts by blending ground beef with a paste of onion and garlic plus fresh parsley, coriander, and basil, adding a depth of herbaceous flavor. The beaten egg holds the mixture together without overworking, promoting tender burgers.
Burgers are shaped to desired thickness and grilled over medium-hot coals with a brushed-oil grill surface. Cooking time varies by preferred doneness, roughly 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting as needed. The burgers are assembled on gluten-free buns with user-chosen toppings.
The herbs add brightness and complexity, balancing the meatiness. Serving on gluten-free buns is suitable for those avoiding gluten, but buns can be omitted for lower carbohydrate intake.
Notes explain nutrition facts differ with or without buns and suggest omitting the bun and using cooking spray to make the burger compatible with keto or paleo diets, offering a low-carb option.
Ingredients
- 600 g ground beef
- 1 onion peeled and chopped
- 2 garlic peeled cloves
- 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Coriander finely chopped
- 1.5 tbsp basil finely chopped
- 1 egg beaten
- salt
- black pepper
- cooking oil for frying
- To serve
- 4 gluten-free burger buns
- toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Fire up the barbeque and wait till the coals are medium hot.
- Place the beef mince in a bowl and break up any clumps.
- Whiz the onion and garlic into a paste and add to the mince along with the parsley, coriander, basil, egg, salt and black pepper and mix everything together. Don't over mix.
- Divide the burger mix into 4 and mould each portion into a burger shape - make them as thick or as thin as you like.
- Brush the grill with some olive oil.
- Burger cooking time depends on how rare you like your burger. As a rough guide cook your burger for 2-3 mins and then flip and cook for another 2-3 mins and test it. Then keep cooking and testing till the burgers are as well-cooked as you like. Assemble the burgers by putting them in the buns and adding topping of choice.
Notes
- Nutrition facts provided are with gluten-free buns; omitting buns significantly lowers carbohydrate and calorie counts.
- To adapt for keto or Paleo diets, skip the buns and use a low-calorie cooking spray for frying.
- Cooking times depend on preferred doneness; use a thermometer or careful testing to achieve desired level.
