INGREDIENTS

8 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 whole whole wheat bun

0.5 cup yellow onion

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dijon mustard

2 leaves butter lettuce

2 slices tomato

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and add the sliced yellow onions.

• 2

  Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and deeply caramelized.

• 3

  While the onions cook, shape the ground beef into a single large patty and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 5

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the skillet during the last minute of cooking the beef.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by spreading Dijon mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the butter lettuce, tomato slices, beef patty, and a generous pile of caramelized onions.
