Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Sizzling lean beef patty stuffed with gooey mozzarella and topped with zesty marinara on a toasted sprouted bun for a clean take on a classic comfort food.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz ground beef (93% lean)
0.5 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese stick
0.5 whole sprouted grain bun
0.25 cup marinara sauce (no sugar added)
1 cup baby arugula
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and press them into thin, wide patties.
Season both patties on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Cut the mozzarella stick into three or four small pieces and place them in the center of one patty.
Place the second patty over the cheese and pinch the edges of the beef together firmly to ensure the cheese is completely sealed inside.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the stuffed patty in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
While the burger cooks, lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in a separate pan or toaster.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering.
Assemble the burger by placing the baby arugula on the bottom bun, followed by the beef patty and a generous spoonful of marinara sauce before adding the top bun.
