INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef 93% lean

0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole Whole wheat burger bun

1 large Butter lettuce leaf

1 slice Tomato

1 slice Red onion

1 tsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Gently shape the ground beef into a 1-inch thick patty, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 2

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

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot pan and sear for 4 minutes without moving it until a deep brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top, then cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

• 6

  While the beef rests for a minute, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the pan or a toaster until golden and warm.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by spreading yellow mustard on the bottom bun, then layering the lettuce, tomato, onion, and the cheesy beef patty.
