INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef 93% lean

0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole Whole wheat bun

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

1 slice Tomato

1 slice Red onion

0 tbsp Avocado oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Form the ground beef into a single 6oz patty, making a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging during cooking.

• 2

  Season both sides of the patty evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

• 4

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it, until a deep golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the cooked side.

• 6

  Cover the pan with a lid for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt perfectly while the burger reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 7

  While the meat rests for 2 minutes, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in a separate pan or toaster until golden.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the cheesy patty on the bottom bun, then layering the lettuce, tomato, and red onion before closing with the top bun.
