THE ULTIMATE PLANT-BASED BURGER

We checked with professional chefs, then tested it ourselves! The consistent winner is the Beyond Meat burger. It's priced a bit more than lean ground beef but the taste payoff is worth every penny -- and it's a healthy, environmentally friendly replacement for any burger. We suggest buying a package of Beyond Beef to shape your own burgers so you can create any size you want. You can grill or use your cast iron pan to get a crispy exterior, with pink interior. Chefs also add a drizzle of olive oil to burgers while cooking. We like to use Garlic or Chipotle oils for an extra zing. For a deluxe bun, use a buttery brioche or a classic Italian ciabatta roll. INGREDIENTS:
1 18g package
Beyond Beef, thawed, formed in 4 round patties
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp fresh extra virgin olive oil
Your choice of toppings (see below)
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat grill or cast iron to medium-high. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of patties. If using cast iron, grease the pan with a small amount of olive oil and use a metal spatula, pressing burger before flipping to make sure that the patty is connecting with the heat source. Do the same on the other side, once flipped. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
