Mozzarella Stick Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with melty mozzarella and zesty marinara on a toasted whole grain bun for a savory, satisfying bite.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz ground beef (93% lean)
2 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
0.5 whole whole grain burger bun
0.25 cup marinara sauce
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 cup baby arugula
0 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into a single wide patty.
Slice the two mozzarella cheese sticks in half lengthwise and set them aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the beef patty in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes on the first side.
Flip the burger and immediately place the sliced mozzarella sticks on top of the patty in a cross-hatch pattern.
Cover the skillet with a lid for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking to allow the cheese to become gooey and melted.
While the burger finishes, lightly toast the whole grain bun in a separate pan or toaster.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering.
Place the baby arugula on the bottom bun, top with the cheesy beef patty, and pour the warm marinara sauce over the cheese before closing the burger.
