What started out as a disaster actually turned into a happy accident. What happened? Well, this recipe started out as a burger, but the burgers didn’t hold together at all. They completely crumbled. I had to make something of this mess, so I thought a pita would be the perfect vessel for the result of what has become a new favorite.
Ingredients
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. Sriracha
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 tsp. sesame seeds
3 Tbsp. A1 steak sauce
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire
2 Tbsp. Sriracha
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
1 onion, grated
1-1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1 red or green pepper, cut into strips
1 package goat cheese, crumbled
4 low-carb pita bread, cut in half
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine mustard, 1 tsp. Sriracha sesame oil and lemon juice.
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, mix the A1 sauce, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp. Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Give that a mix.
Add the onions and ground beef. Mix until well combined.
Shape into patties and grill for 5-7 minutes per side. This is the point at which this recipe began to fall apart, literally. I intended for this to be a burger recipe, but the burgers seriously did not hold together. It turned into a happy accident, though. and I suggest making it this way by grilling the patties anyway because they are better if they fall apart. You can let these fall apart naturally or help them by breaking up the meat into chunks with a spatula.
Scoop the crumbled patty into a warmed pita, Add some cucumber, red pepper and goat cheese. Top with the cabbage mixture on top. See? A happy accident because these turned out to be so delicious!
