INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 medium whole wheat bun

0 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 large romaine lettuce leaf

1 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 2

  Gently shape the ground beef into a single patty, about 1 inch thick, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 3

  Season both sides of the patty generously with the spice blend.

• 4

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 5

  Place the patty in the pan and sear for 4 minutes without moving it to develop a golden-brown crust.

• 6

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

• 7

  Cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the burger to reach your desired doneness.

• 8

  While the burger rests for a minute, lightly toast the whole wheat bun in the same pan or a toaster.

• 9

  Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce, tomato, and onion on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy beef patty and the top bun.
