INGREDIENTS

8 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 tbsp buffalo sauce

0.5 oz blue cheese crumbles

2 large butter lettuce leaves

1 slice red onion

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and half of the buffalo sauce.

• 2

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 3

  Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick.

• 4

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

• 5

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

• 6

  Flip the burgers and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.

• 7

  During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with the blue cheese crumbles and cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to soften.

• 8

  Remove the patties from the heat and drizzle with the remaining buffalo sauce.

• 9

  Place each patty onto a large butter lettuce leaf and top with a slice of red onion before serving.
