Serves Two Decent Sized Burgers
250/300 gram lean minced beef
1 red onion chopped
1 egg yolk
1 - 2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried mixed herbs *
Salt and pepper to season
* I used dried herbs but if you have fresh ones even better
Simple Method
Just place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, then stir very well making sure it is well mixed. Using your hands divide the mix and shape into two equal sized burgers. Place on a baking tray and cook in a pre-heated oven at 200 or Gas Mark 6 for approx 30 minutes. All ovens vary so check burgers at about 20 minutes and adjust cooking time as necessary. When cooking burgers in the oven it may be an idea to grease or line your baking tray …. helps with the washing up afterwards!
You can either have plain burgers or why not put some stilton cheese on top of the burgers, for the last 10 minutes of cooking and let it melt - it makes the burgers that extra delicious.
We enjoyed this dish served with some mushrooms cooked in butter, I use a small frying pan, with melted butter and cook on top of the hob. For the cheesy leeks, I just sliced up two leeks (wash them first) placed them in a small ovenproof dish. Covered them with double cream and cooked in the oven for approx 15 minutes. Take leeks out of oven and sprinkle with some grated cheddar cheese, return to oven for further 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and it’s a slight golden brown colour - the leeks should be just soft.
I’m very much an amateur chef … but I like to share recipes and ideas … and of course I wouldn‘t dream of serving these burgers in a bun. This blog is LCHF !
Happy Cooking

You can't beat burgers with some Mediterranean roasted vegetables.

I too am just an amateur cook (wouldn't use the word chef for me). We love burgers without buns, mince is one of our favourite things. One hint that I got off another low carber - if you saute your onion in oil or butter first... then add it to the mince mixture it holds the mixture together much better! Bits of onion don't fall out - especially great because we don't use breadcrumbs to help bind the burgers.
Hi Sue - yes Mediterranean style vegetables do go nicely with burgers, thanks for your comment.
