Low Fat Beef And Mushroom Burgers Recipes

BLENDED MUSHROOM AND BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Wash and clean the mushrooms before giving them a rough chop to break them into chunks.
• In a food processor mince the onions and garlic. Once they're done, add the mushrooms and use the pulse mode to mince them. Using the pulse mode and giving the mushrooms a rough chop helps them hold on to their liquid, making the burgers easier to form.
• Combine the mushrooms with the smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
• In a large bowl mix the mushrooms and ground beef together.
• Using your hands, form the mixture into five patties, using your thumbs to create a small indentation in the top.
• Grill the burgers on a medium-high grill for 6 minutes per side.
• Serve on toasted buns with your favorite condiments.

BEEF-MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl; add the beef, garlic, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until combined. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties, season with salt and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Top each burger with a slice of Swiss cheese, cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and uncover.
• Meanwhile, put the edamame in a microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until the edamame is bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and toss with the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil; season with salt.
• Toast the English muffins, then sandwich with the burgers and toppings. Serve with the edamame.

MUSHROOM AND BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the beef, roasted mushroom base, onion, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, herbs, and egg. Form 6 to 8 patties and place them on a plate or a lightly oiled sheet pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Heat 1 or 2 large, heavy skillets over medium-high heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom (about 1 tablespoon). When the pans are hot, add the patties and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to the parchment-lined sheet pan and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, let sit for a couple of minutes, and serve.

LOW FAT BEEF AND MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the onion and mushrooms in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped. Add the beef, breadcrumbs, herbs, tomato paste and seasonings. Process for a few seconds until the mixture binds together but still has some texture.
• Divide the mixture into patties ( I sometimes make lots of smaller ones as opposed to a few large ones, as they are easier to cook and stuff into pita bread that way!) and press into burger shapes with lightly floured hands.
• Cook the burgers in a non stick frying pan, or under a hot grill , turning once, until evenly cooked.
• NB. Please be aware that the mixture is quite soft, so you will need to handle carefully to prevent the burger from breaking up while cooking.

• Grease an indoor grill pan with cooking spray. Cook patties in batches until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side.

BEET, MUSHROOM AND BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Grate beet on large holes of a grater.
• . In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients except the oil for cooking until well combined. Shape into 4 patties. I like to pile the mixture into a 3-inch ring and pull the ring away, then when I place the patties in the hot pan I press them down with the back of my spatula so they are about 1 inch thick.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil, just enough to coat pan. Cook patties for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and serve. You can use a bun or not (I think they are fine without). Baby arugula, mizuna or spicy micro-greens make a very nice accompaniment.
