Beef-and-Barley Burgers image

Whole grains and veggies are the focus in this mostly-meatless patty, but not to worry-ground beef still plays a familiar and satisfying role. To ensure they had a flavor that would be as beefy as ever, we turned the volume up by adding a little soy sauce to the mixture and topped it all off with a shmear of creamy Dijonnaise.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cooked barley or barley blend
10 ounces ground beef (85 percent lean)
1 cup grated carrots (from about 2)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups packed baby arugula
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
Dijonnaise
Soft onion rolls, split

Steps:

  • Pulse half of cooked barley in a food processor until mashed. Transfer to a bowl with beef, carrots, ginger, remaining barley, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine (do not overmix). Divide into 4 portions; form into 4 1/2-inch round patties.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add patties in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total. (If necessary, cook in two batches.)
  • Toss arugula and cucumber with remaining 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread Dijonnaise onto split sides of rolls. Sandwich patties and arugula mixture with rolls; serve immediately.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers turned out great! They were juicy and flavorful, and the barley added a nice texture. I served them with roasted potatoes and a side salad.

These burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe by adding some grated vegetables or a binder like egg or breadcrumbs.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of ground beef and ground turkey, and they were still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped onion and garlic to the mix.

These burgers were okay. They were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.
