Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger with Marinara
Juicy grass-fed beef patty seared to perfection and topped with gooey melted mozzarella and zesty marinara on a toasted sprouted bun.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz 93% lean ground beef
0.75 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese
0.5 whole sprouted grain bun
0.25 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 cup baby arugula
PREPARATION
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then gently form into a single thick patty.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Place the beef patty in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side to develop a deep golden crust.
Flip the patty and immediately top with the mozzarella cheese; cover the pan with a lid for the remaining 3 to 4 minutes of cooking to ensure the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
While the burger finishes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until it is hot and fragrant.
Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in a toaster or on the edge of the skillet until the edges are crisp.
Place the cheesy beef patty on the bottom bun, spoon the warm marinara sauce over the cheese, add the fresh baby arugula, and top with the remaining bun half.
