INGREDIENTS

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.5 tbsp avocado oil

2 cups fresh baby spinach

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

• 2

  Gently mix the spices into the meat using your hands, being careful not to overwork the beef, then form into two equal-sized patties.

• 3

  Press a small thumbprint indent into the center of each patty to ensure they cook evenly without bulging.

• 4

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.

• 5

  Carefully place the patties in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side until a deep, golden-brown crust forms.

• 6

  Flip the patties and cook for another 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 7

  Transfer the beef to a plate to rest; meanwhile, add the baby spinach to the same skillet and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted.

• 8

  Drizzle the lemon juice over the spinach and serve immediately alongside the crispy beef patties.
