INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole Whole wheat 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 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then form into a single thick patty without overworking the meat.

• 2

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 3

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

• 4

  Flip the patty and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes; during the final minute, place the cheddar cheese on top and cover the pan to melt it perfectly.

• 5

  While the meat rests for a moment, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the same skillet or a toaster until the edges are golden.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by spreading mustard on the bottom bun, layering the lettuce, tomato, and onion, then crowning it with the cheesy beef patty.
