• Zero gluten, ultra low carb

This recipe delivers a restaurant-quality gluten-free burger that’s keto-friendly, carnivore-friendly, and unbelievably satisfying.

What Is a Flying Dutchman Burger?

The Flying Dutchman is essentially:

• Two beef patties
• Two slices of cheese
• Optional grilled onions

No bun. No lettuce wrap. Just meat and cheese.

This makes it:

• Naturally gluten-free
• Keto-approved
• High-protein
• Low-carb

It’s simplicity elevated to indulgence.

Instructions

1. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently form into thin patties. Do not overwork the meat.
2. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
4. Cook patties for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
5. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
6. In a separate pan, melt butter and sauté onions over medium heat until caramelized (about 8–10 minutes).
7. Assemble by placing one cheesy patty on a plate, top with caramelized onions, then stack another cheesy patty on top — cheese sides facing outward to act as “buns.”
8. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Why This Burger Is So Satisfying

The magic comes from fat and umami:

• 80/20 beef provides juiciness
• Melted cheese adds richness
• Caramelized onions bring sweetness
• Salt enhances natural beef flavor

Without bread, the flavors become more intense and concentrated.
