Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with gooey melted mozzarella sticks and zesty marinara sauce, served on a toasted bun for a savory and satisfying bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% lean ground beef
2 whole part-skim mozzarella sticks
0.5 whole whole wheat burger bun
2 tbsp no-sugar-added marinara sauce
0 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 leaf romaine lettuce
2 slices tomato
PREPARATION
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then shape it into a thick patty.
Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the exterior is browned.
Slice the mozzarella sticks in half lengthwise and place them on top of the patty during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the heat and ensure the mozzarella becomes perfectly melted and stretchy.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the skillet or a toaster until golden.
Assemble the burger by spreading marinara sauce on the bottom bun, layering the lettuce and tomato, and topping with the cheesy beef patty.
