INGREDIENTS

8 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 whole Whole wheat burger bun

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0 tsp Avocado oil

2 leaves Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

2 slices Red onion

1 tbsp Yellow mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Shape the ground beef into a single 1-inch thick patty and press a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging.

• 2

  Season both sides of the beef patty evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 3

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

• 4

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to ensure a deep, caramelized crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the patty and continue cooking for another 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.

• 6

  While the beef rests for a few minutes, place the bun halves cut-side down in a dry pan over medium heat for 60 seconds until toasted and golden.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by placing the cooked patty on the bottom bun, then layering the lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion on top.

• 8

  Spread the yellow mustard on the top bun half and close the sandwich to serve immediately.
