Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 egg
- 4 pieces large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 avocado
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and egg. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil and allow it to melt and evenly coat the pan.
Step 4
Once the pan is hot, add the beef patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium or longer until desired doneness is reached.
Step 5
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato, red onion, and avocado into desired portions.
Step 6
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 7
Assemble each Paleo burger by placing a cooked beef patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with slices of tomato, red onion, and avocado. You can use another lettuce leaf to wrap around the toppings if desired.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo Classic Burgers warm and enjoy a healthy, fulfilling meal!
