Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 leaves of romaine lettuce
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup of crumbled blue cheese, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, 4 leaves of romaine lettuce, 1/2 red onion sliced, and 1 avocado sliced.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may want to add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice sear.
- Flip the patties and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you prefer your burgers well done, you may need to cook them for an additional minute or two.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare your toppings. Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Slice the red onion and avocado.
- Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- To assemble your low carb blue cheese burgers, take a romaine lettuce leaf and place a burger patty on top. Add a few slices of red onion and avocado on top of the patty.
- Finish with a sprinkle of additional blue cheese if desired, and top with another lettuce leaf for added crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, bunless blue cheese burgers!
Tips
- Choose Quality Beef: For the best flavor and juiciness, opt for high-quality ground beef with a fat content of around 80/
- This will keep your burgers moist and flavorful.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough burgers, so be gentle!
- Make Indentations: Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty before cooking. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up.
- Preheat Your Cooking Surface: Ensure your grill or skillet is hot before adding the patties. This will create a beautiful sear and help lock in the juices.
- Rest the Patties: Let your burgers rest for a couple of minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful bite.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Try adding crispy bacon, sliced jalapeños, or your favorite low-carb condiments to elevate your burger experience.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your burgers with a fresh salad or roasted veggies for a complete, low-carb meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
