Ingredients
  

For the Burgers
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Grass-fed for added health benefits
  • 1 tablespoon Steak Seasoning Salt and pepper can be a great substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Pepper Flakes Use Italian seasoning for a milder heat or omit if preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper Pre-ground works in a pinch
  • 4 cloves Minced Garlic Fresh garlic is best, but garlic powder can be a quick alternative
  • 1 cube Bouillon Cube Low-sodium options are available if you want less salt
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Basil is a delightful substitute or can be omitted
  • 4 slices Cheese Slices Consider dairy-free cheese for those avoiding dairy
For the Zucchini Noodles
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Olive oil is a great alternative for a dairy-free version
  • 4 cups Zucchini Noodles Spiralize zucchini or try other vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Lime juice can be used for a different zing
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce Omit if a milder dish is desired or use a less spicy variant

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with steak seasoning, red chili flakes, black pepper, half the minced garlic, a crumbled bouillon cube, and finely chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into eight equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick. Place a slice of cheese on four patties, then top each with the remaining patties.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
  4. In the same skillet, melt an additional 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in remaining minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, and a pinch of Italian seasoning. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet with the garlic and lemon butter, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until tender. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Push the zucchini noodles to one side of the skillet and return the cooked garlic burgers to heat through for another 1-2 minutes before serving.
