Farm-Fresh Beef Burgers

ADVERTISEMENT

Ingredients
1 lb (500g) farm-raised ground beef (from a single cow)
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
4 fresh burger buns
4 slices cheddar cheese (preferably aged)
Lettuce leaves
Fresh tomato slices
Red onion rings
Burger sauce (mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard – mixed to taste)
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Beef
Place the farm beef in a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently—just enough to combine—so you don’t overwork the meat and lose its natural juices.

Step 2 – Shape the Patties
Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Keep them slightly thicker in the middle to ensure even cooking.

Step 3 – Cook the Burgers
Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat and brush with olive oil.
Place the patties on the hot surface and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
In the last minute, add a slice of cheddar to each patty and let it melt.

Step 4 – Assemble the Burger
Toast your burger buns lightly for extra texture.
Spread burger sauce on the bottom bun, add lettuce, tomato, the beef patty with melted cheese, and top with red onion rings. Finish with the top bun.

Step 5 – Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with crispy fries, sweet potato wedges, or a fresh green salad. Take one bite and you’ll understand why farm beef is worth every penny.

Pro Tip: Once you taste the depth and richness of farm beef, you might never go back to store-bought again. Supporting local farms not only means fresher, healthier meat, but also supports your community and local economy.
