Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (95% lean)
- 8 units Whole wheat slider buns
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 unit Tomato, sliced
- 1 unit Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef with chopped red onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into small patties that match the size of the whole wheat slider buns.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to lightly coat the pan.
Cook the beef patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), indicating they are properly cooked through.
While the sliders are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by blending the low-fat Greek yogurt with lemon juice and fresh basil leaves in a small blender or using a hand blender until smooth.
To assemble the sliders, start with the bottom half of the buns and add a layer of baby spinach leaves.
Place the cooked beef patties on top of the spinach, followed by tomato slices and avocado slices.
Drizzle the yogurt-basil sauce over each slider before placing the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy juicy beef sliders!
