Ingredients
- 200 g lean ground beef
- 50 g broccoli
- 50 g carrots
- 1 tomato
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp starch
- to taste black pepper
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1Prepare the beef mixture
In a bowl, combine the finely minced beef, broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes. Add black pepper, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and a spoonful of starch to the mixture.
Tip: If you dont have black pepper, white pepper works just as well to season the meat. - 2Combine ingredients
Using a spoon, stir the beef, vegetable, and seasoning mixture in a clockwise direction until all ingredients are well combined and the texture is uniform.
Tip: Stirring in one direction helps the meat mixture develop a better, springy texture. - 3Pan-fry the patty
Spray a small amount of oil into a pan and heat it over medium heat. Shape your beef mixture into a patty and place it into the pan to fry.
Tip: If you have extra mixture, place it on parchment paper and freeze it for a quick, future meal. - 4Cook the beef patty
Fry the beef patty in the pan, flipping as needed, until the surface is nicely browned and the patty is fully cooked through.
Tip: Ensure the heat is consistent to brown the patty evenly without burning the vegetables. - 5Prepare fresh ingredients
While the patty finishes cooking, slice a fresh red tomato on a cutting board to prepare it for the sandwich assembly.
Tip: Tomatoes add essential fiber and moisture to your weight-loss sandwich. - 6Assemble the sandwich
Take a slice of whole wheat bread and layer it with fresh lettuce, the sliced tomatoes, and the cooked beef patty to complete your healthy, low-fat sandwich.
Tip: Feel free to add other low-calorie vegetables you enjoy to customize your sandwich.
