Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty stuffed with gooey melted mozzarella and topped with zesty marinara on a toasted whole grain bun.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz ground beef (93% lean)
1 whole low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese stick
0.5 whole whole wheat burger bun
0.25 cup marinara sauce (no sugar added)
0 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
2 leaves fresh basil
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Divide the beef into two thin patties, place the mozzarella stick (cut in half to fit) in the center of one, and top with the second patty, pinching the edges firmly to seal.
Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the burger patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the beef is browned and the cheese center is molten.
While the burger rests for a minute, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Toast the whole wheat bun in the skillet or a toaster until lightly golden and crisp.
Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun, topping with warm marinara and fresh basil leaves, then finishing with the top bun.
