Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 Low-fat American cheese slices
- 4 Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- 8 Pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and gently form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the olive oil onto the pan to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the beef patties on the hot skillet or grill pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of low-fat American cheese on each patty to melt slightly.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill or under a broiler until lightly browned.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a light spread.
Step 8
To assemble the burgers, spread a little of the mayonnaise mixture on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 9
Place a lettuce leaf on top of each bun, followed by a cooked beef patty with melted cheese.
Step 10
Top the patty with a slice of tomato, two pickle slices, and then place the top half of the bun on to finish.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Shack Burger!
