Beef Burger Patties with Sautéed Green Beans
20 min 4 servings
A hearty and nutritious lunch featuring juicy beef burger patties wrapped in crisp lettuce with fresh toppings, paired with tender green beans sautéed with almonds for a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
- 600 g ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 400 g fresh green beans
- 40 g slivered almonds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8 leaves large lettuce leaves
- 2 medium tomato
- 12 slices dill pickle slices
- 8 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- 1Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form into patties about 2 cm thick, ensuring they hold together without overworking the meat. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 2Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse under cold water. Set aside almonds for later use.
- 3Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 190°C. Add patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, until a golden-brown crust forms and internal temperature reaches 71°C. Remove from skillet and let rest for 2 minutes.
- 4In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat at 160°C. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and bright green.
- 5Add slivered almonds to the green beans in the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes over medium heat at 160°C until lightly golden and aromatic, stirring to combine flavors.
- 6Lay out 2-3 lettuce leaves per serving on a plate as a base. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the lettuce, place a rested burger patty on top, then add 2 tomato slices and 2-3 pickle slices. Fold lettuce over or serve open-faced.
