INGREDIENTS

7.5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1.5 tbsp Blue cheese crumbles

1 tbsp Buffalo sauce

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

2 leaves Butter lettuce

2 slices Red onion

0.25 cup Celery

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely dice the celery until it is almost minced.

• 2

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, diced celery, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing gently with your hands until just combined.

• 3

  Shape the beef mixture into one large patty or two smaller patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

• 4

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

• 5

  Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 6

  During the last minute of cooking, brush the buffalo sauce generously over the top of the patty.

• 7

  Sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the sauce, then cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to soften and slightly melt.

• 8

  Remove from heat and let the burger rest for 2 minutes.

• 9

  Serve the burger wrapped in butter lettuce leaves and topped with thin slices of red onion for a fresh, crisp finish.
