Ingredients
Beef and Marinade
500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - preferably grass-fed
2 tablespoons soy sauce - low sodium
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Accompaniments
- 2 cups lettuce - shredded
1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
1 cup cucumber - sliced
1 small red onion - thinly sliced
Dressing
¼ cup Greek yogurt - unsweetened
1 tablespoon mustard - whole grain
1 tablespoon lemon juice - freshly squeezed
½ teaspoon honey - optional for sweetness
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper - freshly ground
Instructions
- Start by marinating the ground beef. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- While the beef is marinating, prepare the accompaniments. Arrange the shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion in separate sections of a serving bowl or platter.
- For the dressing, whisk together the Greek yogurt, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the marinated beef and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's brown and cooked through.
- The beef will exude a deep, rich aroma as it cooks. Assemble the hamburger bowls by placing a portion of the cooked beef in the center of each prepared accompanying bowl. Drizzle with the yogurt dressing.
Notes
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of chili flakes to the beef marinade. Consider grilling the beef for a smoky flavor or using turkey for a leaner option.
