4hamburger buns or large lettuce leaves (for low carb)
Instructions
In a mortar and pestle, crush together the peppercorns cumin, coriander, garlic, pepper, and salt until you have roughly crushed the seeds. Do not make a fine powder out of these.
In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, spice mix, and Worcestershire sauce.
Divide meat into four portions. Form round patties with a slight depression in the middle to prevent them from puffing out into a dome-shape while cooking
Place patties in single layer in air fryer basket. Set fryer to 350°F for 10 minutes.
At the end of cook time, use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (medium).
Note: Macros omit hamburger buns.
When you make air fryer burgers, use the leanest meat possible so you don't have a ton of grease dripping into the bottom basket.
Use a piece of foil at the bottom of the basket for easy cleanup.
Don’t grind the spice mix too fine. You want some roughly crushed peppercorns in there.
Don’t over mix the meat so that you can still have tender burgers.
The same spice mix can be used for grilling a steak.
For meal prep, mix up the burgers with the spice and let it marinate overnight. The next day at dinner time just grill the burgers!
Serve these burgers as a lettuce wrap instead of using a bun if you're eating low carb/keto.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your burgers are cooked properly.
The spice mixes is flavorful enough that you probably just want mayonnaise, but feel free to use a slice of cheese if you want.
