Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Wagyu beef
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Almond flour
- 4 slices Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 2 tbsp Avocado mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Keto-friendly sugar-free ketchup
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Wagyu beef, egg, almond flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the meat to avoid tough patties.
Divide the beef mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indent into the center of each patty using your thumb to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until a nice crust forms.
Flip the patties and place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover with a lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium recommended).
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato thinly, rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves, and set aside pickles.
Assemble the burgers: Use 2 large lettuce leaves as the 'bun' for each burger. Spread avocado mayonnaise on the bottom lettuce leaf, place the cheesy Wagyu patty on top, and layer with sliced tomato, pickle, and a dollop of sugar-free ketchup. Top with the second lettuce leaf.
Serve immediately with a fork and knife, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for easier handling.
