Worried about what you are "really" eating? Have peace of mind with pasture grazed meats.
Pasture Grazed Burgers
Home cooks and backyard grillers! You can grill your Pasture Grazed (100% grassfed/grass finished) ground beef like any other ground beef, if you like. Want to try something new? Consider being a little more “Gentle”. Cooking your 100% grassfed/grass finished burger actually requires less heat, and less time. If you’re used to putting the grill or the burner on nearly maximum heat, consider turning it down a notch or two. On each side, try cooking 20 seconds less than you would for typical beef.
AND please do not “squish” the juice out of 100% grassfed/grass finished burgers. The juice (fat) contains the flavor and healthy nutrients!
- Prep Time: 15m
- Cook Time: 10m
- Yield: Four - 1/4 pound burgers
- Category: Beef, Ground Beef
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pasture Grazed Ground Beef
Instructions
Consider the following guidelines:
- Form patties slightly wider than your bun and about half an inch thick.
- Heat up a cast iron, other pan or grill over medium-high heat. Remember, 100% grassfed/grass finished needs slightly lower heat.
- When the pan is hot, add enough neutral oil or fat (butter, olive oil, coconut oil) to coat the bottom of the pan or grates, let heat up for a minute or two.
- Gently add the patty and listen for a sizzle. Set a timer for 3 minutes. Don’t fuss: keep the fat in by leaving that patty alone.
- Salt the top of the patty, then flip. Set another timer for 3 minutes. Remember grassfed needs less cooking time.
- Salt the second side, then optionally add the cheese at the 1:30 mark.
- Let rest for one minute (to finish the cooking process).
- Top with your favorites. Enjoy!
