INGREDIENTS

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 medium yellow onion

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 whole wheat burger bun

1 leaf butter lettuce

1 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Dijon mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and deep golden brown. Set aside.

• 3

  While onions cook, gently shape the ground beef into one large, thick patty. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it tender.

• 4

  Season both sides of the patty evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 5

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patty and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness.

• 6

  During the last minute of cooking, place the bun halves cut-side down on the skillet to lightly toast.

• 7

  Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom bun, then layer with the lettuce and tomato.

• 8

  Place the cooked beef patty on top, pile on the caramelized onions, and finish with the top bun.
