INGREDIENTS

6.5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole Whole wheat burger bun

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

2 slices Red onion

1 tbsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Form the ground beef into a single 3/4-inch thick patty and season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.

• 3

  Place the beef patty in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to ensure a deep brown crust forms.

• 4

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top, then cover the pan with a lid for 2 minutes to melt the cheese.

• 5

  Remove the patty from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes while you lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the remaining pan juices.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by spreading yellow mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and the cheesy beef patty.
