INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 cup yellow onion

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

2 large butter lettuce leaves

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Dijon mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until they are soft and golden brown. Remove onions from the pan and set aside.

• 3

  While onions cook, form the ground beef into a single thick patty. Season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high. Place the beef patty in the hot pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side to develop a deep brown crust.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top. Cover the pan with a lid for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt while the burger finishes cooking to your desired doneness.

• 6

  Lay the butter lettuce leaves on a plate. Spread the Dijon mustard onto the leaves.

• 7

  Place the cheesy burger patty onto the lettuce and top with the warm caramelized onions before wrapping the lettuce around the burger to serve.
