Proteinpaleo Burger Recipes

THE PERFECT PALEO BURGER WITH SEASONING RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean, oil, and preheat your BBQ.
• Combine the beef, garlic, and dijon in a bowl and mix well. Separate beef mixture into four equal portions.
• Gently shape into desired thickness (I make mine about 1").
• Use your thumb to make an indent in the middle of each burger to prevent them from shrinking while cooking.
• Just before cooking, generously season the top of each burger and place it seasoned-side down on the grill.
• Sear on high heat for 1 minute then reduce heat to medium. Cook 5-7 minutes more.
• Just before you flip, season the other side. Sear on high for 1 minute. Reduce to medium and cook 5-7 minutes more.
• Remove from grill and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the burger.
• Place in my grain-free burger buns and add desired toppings.

BEST PALEO BURGERS {WITH BUNS & BURGER SAUCE!}

Steps:

• Have the burger buns baked, cooled and sliced before beginning.*
• Cook the bacon to preference first and set aside. To make the sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Adjust any seasonings to taste and set aside.
• Shape your burgers. It's important not to overwork the meat while shaping so the burgers stay juicy! I don't like adding much more than sea salt and pepper to my burgers - a little minced garlic is an optional add-in. Shape 5 patties (1/4 lb each) so they're about 1/4-1/2" thicker around the perimeter than the inside - this will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle. Mine were about 3/4" on the outside. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper as you shape them.
• The burgers can be grilled or pan-fried. Preheat your grill to high heat or skillet (or grill pan) to high heat and brush with oil. Cook for a total of 5 minutes for medium rare and 6-7 minutes for medium. The total time will depend on the exact thickness of your patties and the heat of your stovetop or grill. Use a meat thermometer to be more exact about the timing for your desired doneness.
• Time to layer your burgers! Start off with a slather of sauce on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, bacon, the burger patty, and more sauce. Feel free to layer the burgers however you like, but I recommend using the sauce on both the top and bottom buns.
• Serve the burgers right away and enjoy!
