Lean Beef Patty (Nude Style)

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce This adds a depth of umami flavor to the patty, making the lean meat even more flavorful.
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder Garlic powder infuses the patty with a rich, earthy flavor without overpowering the taste of the beef.
  • 1 tbsp Onion powder Onion powder adds a hint of sweetness to balance the beef’s savoriness.
  • 1 tbsp Smoked paprika Smoked paprika gives the patty a subtle, smoky undertone that enhances the grilled flavor.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Proper seasoning is key to making the beef patty flavorful without adding excess ingredients.

Toppings

  • 4 slices Best beef jerky For an extra protein boost and a chewy, savory topping, beef jerky adds an unexpected layer of texture and flavor.
  • 1 Ripe avocado, sliced Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats, balancing the lean protein from the beef.
  • 1 Large tomato, sliced Tomato adds a fresh, juicy element that complements the richness of the beef.
  • Fresh spinach or mixed greens A handful of spinach or mixed greens brings a refreshing crunch and extra vitamins to the burger.
  • 1 Small red onion, thinly sliced Red onions provide a sharp, slightly sweet bite that cuts through the richness of the burger.
