Satisfy your burger cravings with these juicy, flavorful Keto Homemade Beef Burgers, a perfect low-carb alternative to traditional buns. Made with 80% lean ground beef and bound together with almond flour and a touch of egg, these burgers boast a hint of umami from Worcestershire sauce and aromatic punches of garlic and onion powder. Cooking them in butter on a cast-iron skillet ensures a perfectly seared crust, locking in all the savory goodness. Serve these keto-friendly patties tucked into crisp lettuce wraps and topped with fresh tomato, crunchy pickles, and creamy mayonnaise for a satisfying and guilt-free meal. With just 25 minutes from prep to plate, this recipe is a must-try for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and hot, place the patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
If you prefer cheeseburgers, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing each cooked beef patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with slices of tomato, pickles, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise per burger.
Wrap the lettuce around the fillings to form a wrap or serve open-faced with additional toppings as desired.
