INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 cup yellow onion

0 tsp avocado oil

0.5 slice sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole sprouted grain bun

1 leaf butter lettuce

1 slice tomato

1 tsp yellow mustard

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.

• 2

  Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with a tiny drop of oil and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized to a deep brown, about 15 minutes.

• 3

  Divide the ground beef into two 3-ounce portions and gently roll them into balls without overworking the meat.

• 4

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy griddle over high heat with the avocado oil until it begins to shimmer.

• 5

  Place the beef balls into the hot skillet and immediately press down firmly with a heavy metal spatula until the patties are very thin and wide.

• 6

  Season the patties with sea salt and black pepper; cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until the edges are dark and crispy.

• 7

  Flip the patties, place the cheddar cheese slice on one patty, and cook for an additional 60 seconds.

• 8

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the skillet or a toaster.

• 9

  Spread the yellow mustard on the bottom bun, then layer with the butter lettuce, tomato slice, both beef patties, and the caramelized onions before closing the burger.
