Classic Smashed Burger with Caramelized Onions
Lean ground beef seared on a hot cast iron skillet until crispy, topped with savory caramelized onions and melted cheddar on a toasted sprouted grain bun.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz 93% lean ground beef
0.5 slice sharp cheddar cheese
0.5 whole sprouted grain bun
0.5 cup yellow onion
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 leaf romaine lettuce
1 slice tomato
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat, add the sliced onions, and cook until they are soft and golden brown.
Divide the ground beef into two 3-ounce portions and roll them into loose balls, then season the outside with sea salt and black pepper.
Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot and slightly smoking.
Place the beef balls onto the hot skillet and immediately press down firmly with a heavy spatula to flatten them into thin patties.
Sear the patties for 2 minutes without moving them to develop a dark, crispy crust, then flip them over.
Place the cheddar cheese on one of the patties and stack the other patty on top to melt the cheese.
Toast the sprouted grain bun until lightly golden and assemble the burger with lettuce, tomato, the smashed patties, and the caramelized onions.
