👨‍🍳Method

Prep the Veggies

6 min

Bring a small pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and boil for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli florets. Boil for another 3-4 minutes until both are fork-tender but still vibrant and slightly crisp. Drain and set aside.

Mix the Sauce

1 min

In a small ramekin (just like the red one in the photo), whisk together the sugar-free ketchup, non-fat Greek yogurt, and hot sauce until completely smooth.

Form the Patties

2 min

Divide your extra-lean ground beef into two equal 125g portions. Form them into thick, wide patties. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

💡Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb — this prevents them from puffing up into meatballs while cooking.

Cook and Ooze (The Steam-Melt Trick)

10 min

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat it lightly with zero-calorie cooking spray. Sear the patties for about 4-5 minutes on the first side to get a great crust. Flip both patties. Immediately place one slice of light cheese on each patty. Add a tablespoon of water to the empty space in the hot skillet and quickly cover it with a lid. The trapped steam will perfectly melt the light cheese so it drapes heavily over the beef in about 2-3 minutes.

💡The steam-melt technique is the key — it makes even light cheese melt into that gooey, draping cascade you see in the photo!
