INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice center-cut bacon

1 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 medium yellow onion

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves

1 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dijon mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the yellow onion into very thin half-moons.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat, add the onions, and cook slowly until they are soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

• 3

  In a separate skillet, fry the center-cut bacon over medium heat until it reaches a crispy texture, then set aside on a paper towel to drain.

• 4

  Season the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then form it into a thick, uniform patty.

• 5

  Sear the beef patty in the bacon skillet over medium-high heat for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for a perfect medium doneness.

• 6

  Place the sharp cheddar cheese on top of the patty during the final minute of cooking, covering the pan briefly with a lid to ensure it melts completely.

• 7

  Arrange the large romaine lettuce leaves as a sturdy base on a plate, then place the tomato slice in the center.

• 8

  Finish by crowning the burger patty with the crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a smear of Dijon mustard before wrapping the lettuce tightly.
