Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. Mix until well combined using your hands or a spatula.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ghee. Once the ghee is melted and the skillet is hot, add the burger patties.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C), ensuring they are fully cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the burger patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the patties as they are or as part of a lettuce wrap, topped with Whole30-compliant toppings like avocado slices, pickles, or tomato slices.
