INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 Whole Grain Burger Bun
1 medium Shallot
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Arugula
PREPARATION
Preheat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Lightly toast the whole grain burger bun either in a toaster or on the skillet until it becomes crisp and slightly browned. Set aside.
Form the lean ground beef into a loosely packed ball. Place it on the hot skillet and, using a spatula, firmly press it into a thin patty. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the patty for about 3 minutes on the first side until the edges become crispy and well-seared. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes for a medium finish, adjusting cooking time to your preference.
While the patty cooks, thinly slice the shallot into rings.
In a small pan, heat the teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot rings and sauté them until they turn golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Assemble the burger by placing the cooked beef patty on the toasted bun, topping it with fresh arugula and a generous sprinkle of the crispy salted shallots.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed, flavorful smash burger.
