Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared grass-fed beef patty topped with gooey melted mozzarella and zesty marinara, served in a crisp lettuce wrap for a satisfyingly savory bite.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz 93% lean ground beef
2 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
0.25 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
2 large butter lettuce leaves
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Gently form the seasoned beef into one wide, even patty, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side.
While the burger cooks, slice the mozzarella cheese sticks in half lengthwise.
Place the cheese stick halves on top of the patty during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover the pan to ensure they become gooey and melted.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering.
Place the cheesy patty onto the butter lettuce leaves and spoon the warm marinara sauce over the top before serving.
