lil carb Steak House Burger & Brussels Sprouts

Watch me cook this whole meal in the link above!

Steak houses are pretty much amazing... cooking steaks at home can be equally as amazing! However, sometimes Jason and I just don't have it in our budget to go to a steak house or to buy $15 steaks for one dinner. But, if anyone knows me- when I have a craving I just gotta have it! In this case when I'm craving that steak I can get the same flavors from this dinner! I like to call this my "Poor Mans Steak Dinner" because you will get all of the flavors without breaking the bank. OMG I just love these kind of recipes! *Smile*

lil Carb Steak House Burger & Brussel Sprouts- Serves 4

Burgers

1 1/3 lb of ground beef

1 Tbsp season salt

4 slices of red onion

4 slices of blue cheese OR 1 cup of crumbles 

Brussel Sprouts

24 medium-large sized brussels sprouts 

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp butter

4 tbsp balsamic glaze 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut end off of brussels sprouts and cut in half for medium size and for large brussels sprouts cut them half and then cut each half in half again.

Arrange on a large baking pan covered in foil. (If you're neurotic like me then spray it with cooking spray before you add the veggies hehe)

Drizzle the olive oil all over the brussels sprouts then sprinkle on the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Toss well with clean hands.

Bake these in the oven for 10 minutes.

Toss well with a spatula.

Bake for another 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and turn the oven off.

Break up the tablespoon of butter with your hands and scatter across the veggies. Toss one more time and then put them back into the oven to melt the butter and stay warm.

While the brussels sprouts are baking form the beef into 4 oblong burger patties.

Season both sides of the patties with the season salt.

Preheat a grill pan to high or use a skillet on medium high heat. 

Grill for about 5 minutes on the first side. (your stove will vary with mine so adjust your cook time accordingly)

Flip the burgers and top each one with one slice of red onion broken into rings.

Top with the blue cheese slices or 1/4 cup crumbles per burger.

Let cook another 5 minutes on the second side.

To plate- serve your burger along side 1/4 of the brussels sprouts from your baking pan. Top your brussels sprouts with 1 Tbsp of glaze per serving and ENJOY!
