INGREDIENTS

7 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 oz sharp cheddar cheese

2 large butter lettuce

2 slice tomato

0.25 cup red onion

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Gently mix the spices into the beef using your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat, and form into one large, thick patty.

• 3

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil to coat the surface.

• 4

  Place the patty on the hot surface and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 5

  During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the patty and cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to melt completely.

• 6

  Wash and dry the butter lettuce leaves to use as your sturdy 'bun' base.

• 7

  Place the cooked cheeseburger patty onto the lettuce leaves and top with fresh tomato slices and thinly sliced red onion before serving.
