INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole sprouted grain burger bun

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slices tomato

2 slices red onion

1 tbsp yellow mustard

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 2

  Form the beef into a single thick patty, about 3/4-inch thick, and create a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging.

• 3

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot, then sear the patty for 4-5 minutes on the first side.

• 4

  Flip the burger and immediately place the sharp cheddar cheese on top; cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese while the beef finishes cooking.

• 5

  While the burger rests for a minute, lightly toast the sprouted grain burger bun in the same pan until golden and fragrant.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by spreading yellow mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the romaine lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the cheesy beef patty.
