INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole sprouted grain bun

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slices tomato

1 slice red onion

0 tsp avocado oil mayonnaise

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.

• 2

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

• 3

  Form the seasoned beef into a single patty approximately 3/4-inch thick, pressing a slight indentation into the center with your thumb.

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it until a deep brown crust has formed.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the cooked side.

• 6

  Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely while the burger reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 7

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the same skillet or a toaster until golden and warm.

• 8

  Spread the avocado oil mayonnaise across the bottom half of the toasted bun.

• 9

  Layer the romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom bun, then place the cheesy beef patty on top and close the burger.
