    Ingredients

    • Ground beef. I used extra lean ground beef, a 93/7 lean-to-fat ratio. You may substitute it with ground chicken, turkey breast, or salmon fillets.
    • Sourdough starter. This makes hamburgers juicy and moist. You may substitute it with dry bread crumbs. Sourdough discard works too.
    • Onion & garlic powder. Both enhance the dish's flavor. You may use fresh grated onion and garlic. Add your favorite vegetables, such as carrots, celery, pepper, spinach, and kale. Grind them well using a food processor and remove their liquid.
    • Egg. Optional. It works as a binder, but since the sourdough starter is a wet ingredient, you may skip it.
    • Seasonings. Salt and pepper to taste. I keep seasoning simple for my kids. Add any other herbs or spices you like.
    • Oil. Use as needed to fry the hamburger patties. I used avocado oil which has a high smoke point.

    Instructions (step by step)

    1. Let the cast-iron skillet warm up on medium-low heat.

    2. Place all the ingredients in a bowl.

    3. Mix them all evenly. I mix them with my hand.

    Ingredients are on a white bowl.
    Ingredients are mixed in a bowl.

    4. Divide the mixture into eight same-size balls.

    Mixed ingredients are divided into 8 balls shape.

    5. Add enough oil to the hot skillet and warm it up.

    6. Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball and place them in the hot oil. Leave enough room between the patties. I cooked four patties at a time.

    7. Let each side cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

    8. When ready, flip and let the other side cook. Add oil as needed.

    9. Continue to cook the rest of the sourdough hamburger patties.

    4 patties are cooking on a hot cast iron skillet.
    Patties are flipped for the other side to cook.

    10. Serve it hot, and enjoy!

    Tips and tricks

    • Use a cast-iron skillet for faster searing and crispy and juicy results.
    • Let the skillet and oil warm up nicely.
    • Flip the hamburgers when they are crispy and brown.
    • Add your favorite spices, herbs, and vegetables.
    • If you find the batter sticky. Damp your fingers into a bowl of water to make the hamburger patties.
    • Use high smoke point oil such as avocado oil.

    Substitutions and variations to this recipe

    • Make it keto and gluten-free. Replace the sourdough starter with finely chopped herbs or vegetables: cilantro, chives, parsley, oregano, mint, dill, rosemary, broccoli, and cauliflower.
    • Vegan. Substitute ground beef with grounded chickpeas, beans, legumes, or grounded nuts such as walnuts, cashews, or peanuts are the other alternatives to this recipe.
    • Cooking variations. Add two tablespoons of oil to the mixture and bake the sourdough hamburger patties in the oven instead. or grill them.
      • Or make the patties into small balls and make them into a soup or stew.
    • Add vegetables (crunchy or starchy) and spices and herbs of your choice to customize this recipe.

    Equipment

    • I used this 10-inch cast-iron skillet (affiliate link). Everything tastes extra delicious when cooked in cast-iron cookware.

    Storage and reheat

    Store these sourdough hamburger patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Whenever ready to serve them, let them heat up slowly on a stovetop or microwave them for a few seconds.

    You can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the fridge the night before, then heat them on the stovetop or microwave them.

    What to serve with it

    You may serve these sourdough hamburger patties on their own with a light fresh salad or fermented vegetables.

    • Vegetables. Serve them with Garlic sesame green beans or roasted honey cumin broccoli.
    • Salad. A delicious fresh Best keto broccoli cauliflower salad is another option.
