INGREDIENTS

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 medium yellow onion

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 cup fresh arugula

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into uniform half-moons.

• 2

  Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and add the onions with a small pinch of the sea salt.

• 3

  Cook the onions for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and develop a deep golden brown color.

• 4

  While the onions caramelize, divide the ground beef into two equal portions and gently form them into patties about one inch thick.

• 5

  Season both sides of the beef patties evenly with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 6

  Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

• 7

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and add the remaining olive oil.

• 8

  Place the patties in the hot skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until a savory crust forms and the internal temperature reaches your preference.

• 9

  Toss the fresh arugula with the lemon juice in a small bowl to lightly coat the leaves.

• 10

  Arrange the dressed arugula on a plate, place the seared patties on top, and crown them with the warm caramelized onions.
