INGREDIENTS

7 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 slice sharp cheddar cheese

2 large butter lettuce leaves

2 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Form the beef into one large, thick patty, pressing a slight indentation into the center with your thumb to prevent bulging during cooking.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top, then cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese while the burger finishes cooking to your desired doneness.

• 6

  Remove the patty from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

• 7

  Lay out the butter lettuce leaves to act as a bun, then layer with the tomato slices and red onion.

• 8

  Place the cheesy beef patty onto the prepared lettuce wrap and serve immediately.
