Before cooking

  • Ground beef US 1 1/4 lb conflicts with source 650 g; US measure retained.
  • Butter “2+2 tablespoons” equals four tablespoons, split equally.
  • Parsley and garlic are split in half as the publisher directs. The publisher gives no chili-flake amount or split; this adaptation uses half with the beef and half in the sauce.
  • Source does not give a safe numerical ground-beef endpoint; desired-doneness timing alone is insufficient safety guidance.
  • The publisher gives no count for the lemon-slice garnish.
  • The publisher gives no measured amount for: Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional.
  • The publisher gives no measured amount for: Salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  • Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
  • Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
  • The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.
  • Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

Method

  1. Step 1. Gently combine beef with steak seasoning, bouillon, half the garlic, half the parsley, half the optional chili flakes and some salt and pepper.
  2. Step 2. Form two equal patties per portion. Place one cheese slice on one patty of each pair, cover with its partner and seal the edges to make one filled burger per portion.
  3. Step 3. Melt half the butter over medium-high. Cook filled burgers 5–6 minutes per side to the source desired doneness, basting with pan juices; set aside.
  4. Step 4. Melt remaining butter and add remaining garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, Italian herbs and remaining chili flakes. Add remaining parsley and zucchini noodles, tossing 2–3 minutes. Reduce excess liquid another minute if needed.
  5. Step 5. Return burgers and warm 1–2 minutes. Serve with optional lemon garnish.
