Crispy Mozzarella Beef Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with a golden-brown mozzarella crust, served on a toasted sprouted bun with crisp lettuce and juicy tomato slices.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz ground beef (93% lean)
0.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese
0.5 whole sprouted grain bun
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 leaf butter lettuce
2 slice tomato
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, mixing gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the beef into a single wide patty, slightly larger than the bun as it will shrink during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
Flip the burger, then immediately place the mozzarella cheese directly on top of the patty.
Cover the skillet with a lid for 2 minutes to melt the cheese, then remove the lid and let the patty finish cooking until the cheese edges begin to crisp against the pan.
While the beef rests for a moment, lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the same skillet or a toaster.
Assemble the burger by placing the butter lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom bun, followed by the crispy mozzarella beef patty and the top bun.
