Ingredients

800g ground beef (80/20 blend is recommended for optimal flavor and fat content)

1 large egg

2 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Ensure it's sugar-free)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil (for cooking)

Cooking Instructions

1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough patties.

2. Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions.

3. Shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Gently flatten the patties to ensure even cooking. You can use a burger press for uniform patties.

4. Heat the avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Carefully place the hamburger patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, cook in batches.

6. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium, aim for 145°F (63°C).

7. Once cooked through, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful burger.

   Pro Tips and Variations

   For extra flavor, try adding finely chopped onions or mushrooms to the ground beef mixture.

   Experiment with different spices, such as chili powder or cumin, for a Southwestern-inspired burger.

   To prevent the patties from shrinking too much during cooking, gently press a small indentation in the center of each patty before cooking.

   If you don’t have almond flour, you can substitute it with ground pork rinds.

   Consider melting cheese, like cheddar or Monterey Jack, on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking for an extra decadent treat.
