INGREDIENTS

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 tbsp buffalo hot sauce

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp blue cheese crumbles

2 large leaves butter lettuce leaves

0.25 cup red onion

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, 1 tablespoon of buffalo hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 2

  Gently mix the ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat, then form into one large, thick patty.

• 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 skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side until a deep brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately top with the blue cheese crumbles, then cover the pan with a lid for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the cheese to soften.

• 6

  Remove the patty from the heat and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of buffalo hot sauce.

• 7

  Arrange the butter lettuce leaves as a base, place the burger on top, and garnish with the red onion before serving.
