Bò Bía Burger

The Bò Bía Burger is a delicious fusion of traditional Vietnamese flavors and the modern burger concept, featuring savory beef patties layered with fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables, all wrapped in a sweet potato bun. This Paleo-friendly dish offers a unique twist that is both satisfying and health-conscious.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 300 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Shallots (finely chopped) - 1 small
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons

• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cucumber (thinly sliced) - 1/2 medium

• Sweet potatoes (for buns) - 2 medium
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1 cm thick rounds, then coat them with coconut oil and place them on a baking tray.
3. Bake the sweet potato rounds for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy.
4. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped shallots, fish sauce, black pepper, cilantro, and mint. Mix until well combined.
5. Form the beef mixture into two equal patties.
6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
