Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with a gooey air-fried mozzarella stick and rich marinara sauce on a toasted sprouted grain bun.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz 93% lean ground beef
0.5 whole sprouted grain burger bun
1 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese stick
0 tbsp almond flour
0.5 tsp italian seasoning
0.25 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
0 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 cup fresh arugula
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour and Italian seasoning.
Cut the mozzarella cheese stick in half crosswise, then roll each piece in the almond flour mixture until lightly coated.
Place the coated cheese sticks in an air fryer at 400°F for 3-4 minutes until the exterior is slightly golden and the inside is soft.
Form the ground beef into a single 1-inch thick patty and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through.
While the beef cooks, lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in a separate pan or toaster.
Warm the sugar-free marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Assemble the burger by placing the arugula on the bottom bun, followed by the beef patty, a generous spoonful of marinara, and the warm mozzarella sticks.
Top with the remaining bun and serve immediately while the cheese is melted.
