Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (lean, at least 90% lean)
- 2 tablespoons Onion (finely grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely grated onion, minced garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, and low sodium Worcestershire sauce.
Step 2
2. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spatula until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat as this can make the patties tough.
Step 3
3. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb; this will help them cook evenly and avoid puffing up.
Step 4
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
5. Place the patties on the grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side, without moving them, to achieve a good sear.
Step 6
6. Flip the patties carefully and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until they reach a safe internal temperature of 160°F for ground beef.
Step 7
7. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving, allowing juices to redistribute.
Step 8
8. Serve the patties on whole wheat buns or lettuce leaves with your favorite low sodium toppings, such as tomatoes, lettuce, onion slices, and avocado.
