Lyonnaise Onion Burger

The Lyonnaise Onion Burger is a deliciously savory dish that features juicy, seasoned beef patties topped with caramelized onions and fresh herbs, all served on a bed of crisp lettuce. This Paleo-friendly burger brings the flavors of traditional French cuisine to your table while keeping it healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients

• 500g ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, then cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are caramelized and golden brown.
2. Add the balsamic vinegar and thyme to the onions, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the beef into 2 equal-sized patties.
4. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
5. To assemble the burgers, place a beef patty on a lettuce leaf, top with caramelized onions, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Wrap the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately.
