Description
Juicy mini beef burgers seasoned with garlic, herbs, and spices, served alongside a fresh shredded zucchini and tomato salad with a lemon-garlic olive oil dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 lbs grass fed ground beef
- 1/2 cup onions (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- parsley (chopped to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon mexican seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt (to taste)
- 1 zucchini (shredded)
- 1 tomato (chopped)
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 garlic clove (finely chopped, for dressing)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onions, 2 chopped garlic cloves, parsley, oregano, taco seasoning, Mexican seasoning, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Form the mixture into small burger patties. Heat a pan (such as a cast iron pan) with a little olive oil and fry the mini burgers until browned and cooked through.
- Shred the zucchini and place it in a serving bowl. Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes over the zucchini.
- Prepare the dressing by mixing olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 finely chopped garlic clove, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the dressing over the zucchini and tomato salad and toss lightly to combine.
- Serve the mini burgers warm alongside the zucchini salad.
Notes
- You can form smaller sliders or larger patties depending on preference.
- Fresh parsley adds brightness, but cilantro can also be used for a different flavor.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce the red pepper flakes in the dressing.
- Serve the burgers with lettuce leaves or small buns if desired.
- Leftover burgers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
