Enjoy all the delicious flavors that come with burgers without the extra carbs that come with the bun. This recipe is Paleo & Whole30 approved and is a healthier alternative to carb-heavy burgers if you are following the Mediterranean diet.

Hubby and I enjoy grilling all year round. It could be 12 degrees in the middle of January, and there’s a good chance you’ll find us bundled up outside grilling burgers or chicken kabobs. There is something so refreshing about eating a nice, juicy grilled burger in the middle of the winter. It brings just a little hope that the Maine winter will eventually come to an end and warm weather will come again.

How to Choose the Best Beef

When buying beef, look for:

  • At least 85% lean, 15% fat - Anything leaner, such as 90 or 95% lean, will cause the burgers to fall apart. We need some fat in the beef to keep the burgers together.

  • Grass-fed and pasture-raised - Happy cows make healthier burgers. Grass-fed beef comes with more brain-healthy fats, so invest in your health by buying grass-fed beef.

  • Shop local - Support local farmers if possible and stop by a local butcher’s. Be sure to still ask about grass-fed options.
