INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 whole Whole wheat bun

0 slice Cheddar cheese

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

2 slices Red onion

1 tsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 2

  Form the mixture into a single thick patty, pressing a small indentation into the center with your thumb to ensure even cooking.

• 3

  Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot.

• 4

  Place the patty in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until it reaches your desired temperature.

• 5

  During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese slice on the patty and cover the pan briefly to melt it.

• 6

  While the meat rests, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the pan or a toaster until the edges are golden brown.

• 7

  Spread the yellow mustard on the bottom bun, then layer the lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

• 8

  Place the cheesy beef patty on top of the vegetables and close the burger with the top bun.
