postheadericon Healthy Beef Burgers



Burgers are considered as junk food all around the world because they have the ability to make your body unhealthy. They are high in fat content which clog our arteries and lead to heart attacks. That's why we are taught to say "NO TO BURGERS". But did you know that we can prepare healthy burgers ourselves at home that's less in fat content, thus safe to eat? Eat once in a while and you won't harm your body. You'll no longer need to load your freezer with those unhealthy frozen burgers. Bid farewell to the junk food and welcome healthy food to your dining table.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE = LONG LIFE

In this recipe, we're going to follow a little trick to remove the excess fat content from the minced beef. Don't worry about the taste. You'll still get a delicious burger that can satisfy your taste buds. You can say that the burgers will be a bit drier than those we get from the outlets. But just a little bit. That's not an issue since we have decided to prepare a healthy burger, right? We'll spice it up for extra taste. Also you can still hold together the burger into shapes because many of them say that the fat content helps to shape the burgers without breaking. You might feel like the burgers are going to break up, but that too never happens. We have ways for every problems. So shall we get started? It would be better to go through some tips, I think.


Tips:
  • You may add more spices of your choice.
  • If you feel that the beef mixture is not wet enough to hold its shape, add more eggs until you are able to do so. Or you may add 2-3 tablespoons milk to moisten it. Though I haven't tried it, that's also a way.
Ingredients:

600 g minced beef

2 medium onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic paste

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1 cup fresh cilantro (Coriander leaf), chopped

1/2 cup mint, chopped

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon salt

2 tablespoon corn starch (flour)

2 eggs

Oil for cooking

Method:

As we said earlier, our first step is to remove the excess fat content from the minced beef. To do this, let's soak the beef in boiled water.

1. Place the minced beef in a large bowl.

2. Boil enough water to cover the beef.

3. When it starts boiling, turn off the heat and slowly pour the water into the bowl placed with beef. Using a spoon, gently give it a stir. At this point, you'll see a change in the color of the beef. Allow it to rest for about 2 minutes. This step will not only help to remove the fat content but also remove the blood and dirt from the beef.

4. Stir once again and transfer this to a steel colander.

5. Wash the minced beef under tape water twice.

6. Allow it to rest in the colander for about 10 minutes to strain excess water.

7. After 10 minutes, transfer the minced beef to a large bowl.

8. Add all the ingredients except oil and mix with a spatula until combined.


9. Now give a good mix with your hand until the mixture is good enough for shaping.

10. When its done, divide into equal portions. (We made 12 burgers with this.)

11. Shape each of them into burgers with your palm. Be light or you'll break it.


12. When you're done, place them in a separate plate and allow it sit in the fridge for about 1 hour.

13. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. If you put them on high heat, the insides won't get cooked well.

14. Place the burgers into the pan and fry them until both sides are browned. Another trick to keep the burgers moistened is to cover the pan with a lid while frying and you won't end up with dried burgers.

Healthy homemade burgers are ready to be served. You can serve it with some sauce/ketchup or as a side along with plain white rice. They taste best when they are still hot.
