Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with a melty baked mozzarella stick and zesty marinara sauce on a toasted whole grain bun.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)
0.5 piece Mozzarella string cheese
0.5 whole Whole wheat burger bun
2 tbsp Marinara sauce
0 tsp Olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
1 leaf Butter lettuce
1 slice Tomato
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the mozzarella string cheese on a small parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the mozzarella for 3 minutes until it is softened and just starting to lose its shape, then remove from the oven.
In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into a single thick patty.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
While the beef cooks, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in a separate pan or toaster until the edges are golden and crisp.
Assemble the burger by spreading the marinara sauce on the bottom bun, followed by the beef patty and the softened mozzarella.
Top with the butter lettuce and tomato slice before closing the bun and serving immediately.
