Grass Fed Beef Recipes

I call this the best burger recipe for several reasons. One, this recipe for beef burgers is made with grass-fed beef. That makes these burgers healthier for the environment and you - grass fed beef is higher in CLA, a heart-healthy fatty acid. Look for grass-fed beef at Trader Joes, Whole Foods or other natural food stores.

Two, this is the best burger recipe because these beef burgers are incredibly juicy and tasty, thanks to a secret ingredient: a touch of cream and a light brush of butter on the outside. Note: You must cook these burgers on lower heat, or they will burn.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 27 minutes

Yield: 6 Beef Burgers

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 lbs. grass-fed ground beef
  • 2 Tbsp. grated onions
  • 2 tsp. heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation:

  1. Combine grass-fed beef, grated onion, cream and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Do not overwork the beef; just mix until combined. Form mixture into six burgers.

  2. Prepare grill for indirect medium heat or heat a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-low-to-medium heat.

  3. Brush both sides of burgers with melted butter. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Cook burgers until desired doneness is reached, about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the burgers. Let burgers rest 5 minutes before serving.
