INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.1 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0 whole whole-wheat bun

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until just combined.

• 2

  Form the beef into a single 1-inch thick patty, making a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a deep brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top; cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

• 6

  While the burger rests for 2 minutes, lightly toast the whole-wheat bun in the same skillet or a toaster.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun and layering with lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
