Low Fat Beef And Mushroom Burgers Food

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.

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.

MUSHROOM AND HORSERADISH HAMBURGERS (REDUCED FAT)

Steps:

• Put the onion, garlic and mushrooms into a food processor or chopper and blitz for about 40 seconds to a minute until everything is mixed and the mushrooms are finely chopped.
• Put the ground beef into a bowl and add the mixture you just blitzed, the horseradish sauce, stock cube and the egg white.
• Combine the mixture with your hands and then put into the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it firm up.
• Take out of the fridge and form into four equal sized patties.
• Then either fry them in a pan or do as I do and lightly brush them with very little extra virgin olive oil and grill them on a Foreman type grill. It takes about 8 minutes for them to be cooked through.
• Serve.

GARLIC & MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Rub the mushrooms with oil; set on a baking sheet. Grill for 3 mins on each side until cooked, but still firm. Mix the cheese, garlic, butter and seasoning in a bowl, then spoon into the mushrooms. Grill until the cheese melts, then stuff into toasted buns with salad.

CHEESY MUSHROOM BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat. Toss tomatoes with basil and 2 Tbsp.of the dressing; set aside. Heat remaining dressing in skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 5 min. or until tender and liquid has evaporated. Stir in 1/2 of the tomato mixture and cheese. Cool slightly.
• Mix meat and mushroom mixture. Shape evenly into 4 patties. Grill patties 7 to 9 min. on each side or until cooked through (160°F).
• Cover bottom halves of rolls with burgers. Top with remaining tomato mixture and top halves of rolls.

MUSHROOM BEEF BURGERS

Steps:

• Remove ground beef from the refrigerator; let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Mix mushrooms, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Mix in beef. Form beef mixture into 1/2-inch-thick patties.
• 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.

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.
