Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with almond-crusted mozzarella sticks and zesty marinara, served in crisp lettuce wraps for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)
1.5 oz Mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp Almond flour
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)
2 large Butter lettuce leaves
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then form into one thick, even patty.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into thick sticks.
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Dredge the mozzarella sticks in the almond flour mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with half of the olive oil and sear the beef patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until cooked to your preference.
In a separate non-stick pan over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and quickly toast the mozzarella sticks for 1 to 2 minutes until the coating is golden and the cheese is just starting to soften.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Assemble the burger by placing the beef patty onto the butter lettuce leaves, topping with the warm mozzarella sticks and a generous pour of marinara sauce.
