INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0.5 whole sprouted grain bun

1 slice sharp cheddar cheese

0 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 leaf butter lettuce

2 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

1 tbsp yellow mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Divide the ground beef into two 3-ounce portions and gently roll them into balls without overworking the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 2

  Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil, swirling to coat the surface until it begins to shimmer.

• 3

  Place the beef balls in the hot skillet and immediately press them down with a heavy spatula or burger press until they are very thin.

• 4

  Season the patties with sea salt and black pepper, then sear for about 2 minutes until a dark, caramelized crust has developed.

• 5

  Flip the patties and place the cheddar cheese on one, then stack the second patty on top to help the cheese melt quickly.

• 6

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the skillet for 30 seconds until the edges are golden and warm.

• 7

  Spread mustard on the bottom bun and layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, and the double patty stack before closing the burger.
