Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground Wagyu beef (85% lean)
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 large Egg white
- 30 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 60 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 40 grams Baby spinach leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Red onion slices
- 4 slices Pickles
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 20 grams Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground Wagyu beef, egg white, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1.5 cm thick. Press a slight indent into the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) for safety. Remove from heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them in the skillet or toaster for a crisp texture.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a thin layer of low-fat Greek yogurt on the bottom half of each bun. Add a handful of baby spinach leaves, followed by the cooked burger patty, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, and a pickle slice. Optionally, spread a small amount of Dijon mustard on the top bun.
Place the top bun on each burger, gently press down, and serve immediately.
