Grass Fed, Organic Burger
Grass Fed, Organic Burger
By not eating organic, grass fed beef you are purchasing what many large-scale dairy farmers and feedlot operators feed their cows “by-product feedstuffs” in order to save money. In general, this means waste products from the manufacture of human food. In particular, it can mean sterilized city garbage, candy, bubble gum, floor sweepings from plants that manufacture animal food, bakery, potato wastes or a scientific blend of pasta and candy. Now, doesn’t that sound appetizing? But that’s what these other cows are being fed and in turn we consume.
I believe that we have a responsibility to ourselves and the people we take care of to educate ourselves about healthy food. But sometimes that becomes very difficult especially when there is so much “corporate” garbage being dumped out there for their profit.
I believe that reading labels, eating non GMO (genetically modified organisms) foods, purchasing locally grown organic fruits and vegetables are the healthiest way to eat. It’s all about the getting back to basics, “Nothing out of a box-Nothing out of a can” Because, when was the last time you picked a box or can off a tree?
Equipment
- Grill or stovetop skillet
- spatula
- Meat thermometer (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 pound Grass-fed ground beef
- 4 slices Cheese (optional) Your choice of cheese, optional for cheeseburgers.
- 4 buns Burger buns Whole grain or gluten-free options for buns.
- 1 cup Lettuce For topping the burger.
- 1 tomato Tomato Sliced, for topping the burger.
- 1 cucumber Cucumber Sliced, for topping the burger.
- to taste Salt Season to taste.
- to taste Pepper Season to taste.
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- While the grill or skillet is heating, form the ground beef into 4 equal patties. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to avoid bulging during cooking.
- Season each patty with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Once the grill or skillet is ready, place the patties onto the cooking surface.
- Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until they reach your desired doneness (internal temperature of at least 160°F for medium).
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- Remove the patties from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Assemble your burgers by placing the patties on the buns and adding lettuce, tomato, cucumber, or any other desired toppings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your organic, grass-fed burger!

Thank you for sharing the blog – Many people are always asking about what is the “big fuss” over “grass fed” when it comes to meat (beef), eggs and dairy. The big fuss is about choosing a better quality of meat that is more in line with what our bodies were designed to use. Little do many really know there is a big difference between a nice bison (grass fed) burger and a Big Mac.
Very true, as I said, education is a big key here.
well said Yvette – are you involved in Food?
