Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared grass-fed beef patty topped with gooey melted mozzarella sticks and zesty marinara sauce, nestled in a toasted sprouted grain bun for a savory, comforting bite.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz ground beef (93% lean)
2 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
2 tbsp marinara sauce
0.5 whole sprouted grain bun
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 cup baby arugula
0 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil to coat the surface.
In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into one thick, uniform patty.
Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
Flip the burger and immediately place the mozzarella sticks (halved lengthwise) on top of the patty.
Cover the skillet with a lid for the final 2 minutes of cooking to ensure the cheese sticks are thoroughly melted and gooey.
Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in a separate pan or toaster until the edges are crisp and warm.
Assemble the burger by spreading the marinara sauce on the bottom bun, adding the baby arugula, and placing the cheesy beef patty on top.
