INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 oz blue cheese crumbles

1 tbsp buffalo sauce

0.5 whole whole wheat burger bun

0.25 cup red onion

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slice tomato

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing gently until just incorporated.

• 2

  Form the mixture into one large patty, pressing a slight indentation in the center with your thumb to ensure even cooking.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• 5

  During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the patty and cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to soften.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the skillet or a toaster until golden and crisp.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce, tomato, and sliced red onion on the bottom bun, followed by the buffalo beef patty and the top bun.
