Really easy way to stretch 200g of ground beef without losing too much protein, and cutting fat and cholesterol. It might seem strange to add tofu to your hamburg steak, but it makes the meat much more moist and tender.
Ingredients
- 200g ground beef
- 1/4 cup carrots, diced into small cubes
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- 1/4 cup potatoes, diced
- 120g silken tofu
- 2 tbsp dashi, mentsuyu or soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- .5tsp white pepper
- 2 tsp canola or olive oil
—
- 1. Combine carrots, onions and potatoes with 1 tsp of canola or olive oil in a small pan on medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. Combine tofu, ground beef, dashi, white pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl, and mix well.
3. Add vegetables, and stir well. Divide into 4 portions and shape into patties.
4. Heat oil in pan on medium, and fry each patty well on each side, flipping occasionally until medium brown.
5. Remove from heat.
Enjoy as is with a fresh salad, or as a burger on some whole wheat buns.
For even lower fat burgers, you can substitute lean ground turkey.
Yum Honey!
