Ingredients
Scale
Burgers
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 fat content recommended)
- 4 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil
- 2 tsp minced garlic (fresh preferred)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp beef stock
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, crumbled feta, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 14 mini patties, about 2–3 inches in diameter each, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Cook Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Once cooked, set the patties aside and keep them warm.
- Drain Grease: Drain excess grease from the skillet, leaving only a thin layer to prevent sticking and maintain flavor for the sauce.
- Deglaze Pan: Lower heat to medium and add the beef stock to deglaze the pan, using a spatula or spoon to scrape up all the browned bits stuck at the bottom for extra flavor.
- Make Sauce: Whisk in heavy cream, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and chopped green onions. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Combine Patties and Sauce: Return the patties to the skillet and simmer them in the sauce for 1–2 minutes to meld flavors thoroughly.
- Serve: Plate the burgers and generously spoon the creamy sauce over them. Garnish with extra chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- For best results, use ground beef with 80/20 fat content for juiciness and flavor.
- Fresh basil and garlic enhance the taste but you can substitute dried herbs if needed.
- Be careful not to overmix the burger mixture to maintain a tender texture.
- Cook patties evenly and avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete keto meal.
