Mozzarella Stick Beef Burger
Pan-seared lean beef patty topped with crispy almond-crusted mozzarella sticks and zesty marinara wrapped in fresh, crunchy lettuce.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz 93% lean ground beef
2 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
1 tbsp almond flour
0.5 large egg
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
2 large romaine lettuce leaves
2 tbsp no-sugar-added marinara sauce
1 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the half egg in a small bowl and combine the almond flour, garlic powder, and dried oregano in a separate shallow dish.
Dip each mozzarella stick into the egg wash, then roll in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is soft.
While the cheese sticks bake, season the ground beef with sea salt and black pepper, then form into a thick patty.
Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef patty for 4 to 5 minutes per side until cooked to your preference.
Lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat on a plate and place the cooked beef patty in the center.
Top the burger with the baked mozzarella sticks and a drizzle of warmed marinara sauce before wrapping the lettuce leaves tightly around the filling.
