Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 large leaves iceberg lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 whole avocado
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato into thick slices, cut the red onion into thin rings, and slice the avocado.
Make the Paleo-friendly sauce by blending the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh parsley in a small bowl.
Once the patties are done, let them rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, add a patty, then top with tomato slices, onion rings, avocado slices, and a dollop of the sauce. Finish with another lettuce leaf as the top 'bun'.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo Big Tasty Burger!
