Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams quinoa, cooked
- 2 tablespoons whey protein powder, unflavored
- 0.5 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, cooked quinoa, and unflavored whey protein powder. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce into the meat mixture. Stir or knead with your hands until all elements are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are of even thickness to allow for uniform cooking.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juiciness.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the burger patties on whole-grain buns with your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and sliced pickles, for a balanced meal.
