Sesame Beef Burger

The Sesame Beef Burger combines the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine with the hearty satisfaction of a burger, all while adhering to Paleo principles. Topped with a vibrant sesame sauce and fresh vegetables, this dish is both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 400 grams
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut aminos - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Romaine lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cucumber (sliced) - 1/2 medium
• Carrot (shredded) - 1 small
• Avocado (sliced) - 1/2 medium

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the cucumber, shred the carrot, and slice the avocado.
5. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
6. To assemble, place each burger patty on a large romaine lettuce leaf. Top with cucumber slices, shredded carrot, and avocado slices. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and crunch.
