Butter Burgers

Do you ever watch Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?  I saw his Butter Burgers and just had to try it!  Oh, My Word!  These are some of the tastiest burgers I have ever tried.  The only thing I did different was not serve it up on a bun because, well, you know…  Carbs are bad on my Keto journey!  Good thing I am able to make this work for me!  Funny thing is…  I don’t even miss the bun. Give this butter burgers recipe a try.

I started off making my own butter first.  I used four sticks of “real” butter and seasoned it with the most amazing flavors!  I did this a day in advance before making my butter burgers.  I’m not sure if the seasonings set in or not but it turned out fantastic!

Butter Burgers Recipe Ingredients and Instructions:

Seasoned Butter Compound Ingredients

• 4 sticks of real butter (salted)
• 1.5 tsps fresh basil, minced
• 1.5 tsps fresh parsley, minced
• 1.5 tsps fresh tarragon, minced
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 2 tsps garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper

Garlic Aioli Recipe Ingredients

• 1 cup real mayonnaise
• 1 tbs fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• .25 tsp cayenne pepper
• .25 tsp ground cumin spice
• 11 garlic cloves, roasted

Burgers Ingredients

• 2 pounds of 80/20 ground beef
• 4 slices of your favorite cheese
• (No hamburger buns for me on Keto)

Butter Burgers Recipe Instructions

1. First, make the butter compound ahead of time.  Mix all the prepared butter compound ingredients together in a bowl until it is well combined.
2. Spoon the softened mixture in a log shape in a long sheet of plastic wrap.
3. Close the butter compound up by rolling the ends together and twisting the edges to create a butter log.
4. Refrigerate for a few hours until it hardens.  I left mine overnight.
5. Next, you will need to create the Roasted Garlic Aioli.  YUM!
6. I purchased already roasted garlic cloves for this but you can roast your own in the oven too.
7. Combine all the Garlic Aioli ingredients in a food processor and blend it on high until all the ingredients become smooth.
8. Now, separate the 80/20 ground beef into 4 separate hamburger patties.
9. Place a large slice of the seasoned compound butter inside each of the burgers (as shown in the photos below).
10. I love to use a cast iron skillet to cook these burgers up because the beef tastes absolutely amazing (yes, there is a difference).  Place another large slice of seasoned compound butter on the top of each burger while it’s cooking.
11. Once the burgers are done, add a slice of your favorite cheese on top. Add a dollop of the Roasted Garlic Aioli on top and serve it warm!
    YUMMY!
