Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 beaten egg
- 3 tbsp almond meal
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
- 1 small shallot (diced)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Chopped parsley and lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, crumbled feta, beaten egg, almond meal, salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic. Form into 4 patties and chill for 5–10 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the shallot until translucent.
- Add diced tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and a pinch of salt, heating through, and blend for a silky texture.
- In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear patties for 3–4 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Rest for 3 minutes.
- Serve patties with warm tomato cream sauce on top, garnished with parsley and lemon zest.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use crumbled firm tofu in the patties.
