Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared beef patty topped with gooey melted mozzarella and zesty marinara sauce on a toasted whole-grain bun.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)
2 oz Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
0.25 cup Marinara sauce
1 whole Whole wheat sandwich thin
1 cup Baby arugula
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Form the seasoned beef into a single thick patty, pressing a slight indentation into the center to prevent bulging.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
During the final 2 minutes of cooking, place the mozzarella sticks on top of the patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese until gooey.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering.
Toast the whole wheat sandwich thin until the edges are golden and crisp.
Layer the bottom bun with fresh baby arugula, followed by the cheesy beef patty and a generous pour of warm marinara sauce before closing with the top bun.
