If you want to make the best grilled keto burger, you have to use a high quality beef. It makes a big difference in flavor and juiciness of the hamburger patty.
One of my favorite beef companies is one that I grew up eating. My mom and her two brothers were raised on a cattle ranch in Northern California.
Jenner Family Beef also keeps their cattle for a longer period of time to maximize the beef flavor. Once the cows are ready, they are taken to a local butcher. The beef is aged to perfection to add more flavor and tenderness to the beef.
If you are interested in the high quality beef that Jenner Family Beef content them via their website, Instagram or Facebook. They deliver locally and can ship to your door.
There are a couple of different methods out there to prevent moisture and fat loss in a grilled burger. I’ve heard of people placing their cooked beef patties in a shallow dish with beef broth. Some also add a couple of tablespoons of ice water to the burger mixture before forming the patties.
One of the biggest way to prevent moisture loss in a grilled burger is to handle the meat as little as possible. When a burger cooks on the grill, the proteins in the meat contract and force out moisture. When you disrupt the proteins by molding them together, it forces out more moisture when grilling. That’s why you should never make a burger mixture with a bunch of other ingredients like onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce because you are basically making a mini dry meatloaf on the grill.

I was impressed by how easy it was to form the patties and keep them from falling apart on the grill. The sauce had just the right amount of tang to balance the richness of the beef.
The horseradish sauce really gave the burgers a great kick. I grilled them medium as suggested and they turned out juicy and full of flavor.
