INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 oz blue cheese crumbles

2 tbsp buffalo sauce

0 whole sprouted grain thin bun

1 leaf butter lettuce

2 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef with 1 tablespoon of the buffalo sauce, sea salt, and black pepper, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 2

  Shape the beef into a thick patty and press a shallow thumbprint into the center to prevent it from bulging during cooking.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 4

  Place the patty in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium doneness.

• 5

  During the final minute of cooking, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the patty and cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to soften.

• 6

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in a separate pan or toaster until the edges are crisp.

• 7

  Layer the bottom bun with the butter lettuce and tomato slices.

• 8

  Place the cheesy buffalo patty on top, drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of buffalo sauce, and finish with the top bun.
