INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

0.33 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole Sprouted grain bun

0 tsp Avocado oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

1 slice Red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  Gently form the ground beef into a single patty approximately 1/2 inch thick, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 2

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

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 4

  Place the patty in the center of the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to develop a deep, caramelized crust.

• 5

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

• 6

  Cover the skillet with a lid for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely while the beef finishes cooking to your preferred level of doneness.

• 7

  While the beef rests for a minute, lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the same skillet or a toaster until the edges are golden and warm.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun, then layering with the romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion before closing with the top bun.
