Ingredients

Servings 4

1 1/2 pounds grass-fed beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 egg or potato buns, split in half
Mustard, for serving
4 leaves Bibb or leaf lettuce
1 tomato, sliced
1 red onion, sliced

Instructions

Divide the meat into 4 even balls. Flatten each ball a little to form a rounded, fattish patty about 2 inches thick. Using your thumb, form a divot in the center of the burger (this prevents the burger from "puffing" up into a ball when you cook it). Refrigerate the burgers until ready to cook.
Preheat a grill to medium-high. Sprinkle both sides of the burgers with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, tent with foil and cook about 5 minutes without moving. The burgers should easily release from the grill to turn. Gently flip and cook the burgers to medium rare, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Spread the buns with mayonnaise and toast 1 to 2 minutes on the grill, watching carefully so they don't burn. Serve the burgers on the toasted buns with mustard, tomato, lettuce and onions.

Why this Burgers works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Burgers that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
