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 whole wheat thin.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)
2 whole Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
1 whole Whole wheat sandwich thin bun
0.25 cup Marinara sauce (no sugar added)
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
1 leaf Butter lettuce
PREPARATION
Shape the ground beef into a thick patty and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the burger is searing, slice the mozzarella sticks in half lengthwise.
Place the mozzarella stick halves on top of the beef patty during the last 2 minutes of cooking, then cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt completely.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until it is just simmering.
Lightly toast the whole wheat sandwich thin bun until golden.
Assemble the burger by placing the butter lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy beef patty, a generous spoonful of warm marinara, and the top bun.
