Beef Blueberry Flax Burgers Recipes

BEEF, BLUEBERRY & FLAX BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine blueberries, mustard, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic and Worcestershire in food processor bowl. Pulse on and off until slightly chunky; reserve 1/2 cup of blueberry mixture for topping. Combine remaining blueberry mixture, ground beef, remaining 2 teaspoons garlic, flax, salt and pepper in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
• Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place patties in skillet; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
• Serve burgers on a bed of mixed greens; top with reserved blueberry sauce and cheese.

PERFECT BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the ground beef evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Gently form the meat into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, 1-inch-thick patties. Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when grilled.
• Preheat a grill to high. Season the patties with salt and pepper. Grill, undisturbed, until marked on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and grill until the other side is marked and the patties feel firm, 3 to 5 more minutes; if desired, top each burger with 2 slices cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover with a disposable aluminum pan to melt.
• Serve the patties on the buns; top with lettuce and tomato.

JAN'S BLUEBERRY AND FLAX BURGERS (PALEO)

Steps:

• Place blueberries in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Mix blueberries, ground beef, flax meal, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; form into 12 burger patties. Freeze until patties are firm, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook burgers on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

VEGGIE FLAX BURGERS

Steps:

• Put the artichoke hearts, garlic, green onions, parsley, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, ground flaxseed, tahini, and black pepper in a food processor; pulse about eight times, until blended. Now scrape down the sides and pulse another six times. Don't overprocess! Move to a bowl and gently stir in cooked rice.
• Divide the mixture into four portions and form into patties about 1/2" thick.
• Heat a larage nonstick frying pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Fry the burgers until the bottoms are brown, about 5 minutes. Spray the tops of the burgers with the cooking spray and turn over. Cook until brown, about 5 minutes more. Serve on buns, if desired. Enjoy!
