Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Plant-based ground beef substitute (with marbling, like Beyond or Impossible meat)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened soy milk
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., avocado or canola oil)
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 slices Sliced tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 rings Sliced red onion
- 4 slices Cheese slices (optional, plant-based for strict vegetarian)
- 4 tablespoons Vegan mayo
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based ground beef substitute, soy milk, panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about ¾ inch thick. Be careful not to over-handle the mixture to maintain its tender texture.
Heat the cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and heated through. If using plant-based cheese slices, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster, on the skillet, or under a broiler.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of vegan mayo and ½ teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and a red onion ring on each bun bottom. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your gourmet Vegetarian Wagyu Beef Burger!
