Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 lbs. beef, grass-fed or pastured, organic
2 sweet onion
1 pkg. white mushrooms
sea salt & black pepper to taste
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c. lettuce
4 slc. tomato
Directions
- Allow meat to settle in room temp for about 1/2 hour.
- Heat grill to medium. (can cook indoors on a grill pan too)
- Grate one onion into the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper and mix together with hands. (this will keep burgers juicy and add flavor)
- Form 4 burgers (or two if you want large burgers)
- Brush burgers on each side with olive or coconut oil and season the outside of burgers with salt/pepper.
- Thinly slice the second onion. Combine with mushrooms season with salt and pepper and put in a foil pack with a few ice cubes. You can also add a small pat of butter but it is not necessary.(These can be sautéed if cooking indoors)
- Place burgers and foil pack on grill heated to medium. (it is important to cook grass fed meat at a lower heat and allow to cook a little longer if needed. High heat can make grass fed beef tough) If you like your burgers med/rare, allow onion/mushrooms a ten minute head start. For med/well burgers put onion/mushrooms and burgers on the grill at the same time and it should be done in about 20 minutes.
- Serve burger on top of lettuce/tomato/raw sliced onion and cooked onions/mushrooms on top of burgers and enjoy!
Optional: You can add a slice of raw cheese and a SWG bun can be used but will increase carb/fat count and add gluten.
