These grass-fed beef burger patties are juicy and delicious with a little spicy mustard kick. Served with quick red cabbage slaw, pickled red peppers and crispy bacon, this is a great midweek meal for one, two or the whole family.
Ingredients
For the burgers
- 600 g ground beef 1.1 lbs., ideally grass-fed
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard or Dijon
- 1 small brown onion diced very finely
- 2 garlic cloves grated or crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the slaw
- 1/4 red cabbage thinly shredded
- 1 medium carrot grated
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- A pinch of salt and pepper
Other
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil for frying
- 6-8 rashers bacon free-range
- 2 slices cheddar cheese optional
- A few strips of marinated or pickled red peppers
Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, mustard, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix together using your hands until well incorporated. You don't need eggs as the salt works with the meat protein and makes the mixture stick together.
- Divide the mixture into 4-5 equal portions and shape into patties, about 10-cm in diameter and 1-2-cm thick. Set aside.
- Combine cabbage and grated carrot with mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper. You can use olive oil and a little more lemon juice instead of mayonnaise. Set aside.
- Heat coconut oil in a frying pan until sizzling hot. Place the meat patties in hot coconut oil and bring the heat down to medium-high. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Flatten them down with a spatula slightly. Remove to a plate and keep warm under foil.
- In the same frying pan as the beef patties, add a little more ghee or coconut oil and fry the bacon for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and crispy.
- For those of you eating cheese, place two patties with a slice of cheese on top under a hot grill for 1 minute to melt. Otherwise, start assembling the burgers by placing 2 patties on top of each other with coleslaw, bacon and red peppers in between. Top with crispy bacon.
