Mozzarella Stick Burger with Marinara
Pan-seared grass-fed beef patty topped with gooey melted mozzarella and zesty sugar-free marinara on a toasted sprouted bun.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% lean ground beef
2 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
1 whole sprouted grain bun
0.25 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 cup baby arugula
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into a single consistent patty.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the patty in the skillet and sear for approximately 4 minutes on the first side until a deep crust forms.
Flip the burger and immediately place the mozzarella cheese sticks (sliced in half lengthwise) on top of the patty.
Cover the skillet with a lid for the final 2-3 minutes of cooking to ensure the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
While the burger finishes, toast the sprouted grain bun in a separate pan or toaster until golden brown.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering.
Place the cheesy patty on the bottom bun, spoon the warm marinara over the cheese, top with fresh baby arugula, and close the burger with the top bun.
