Form the ground beef into a single 1-inch thick patty, making a small indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent bulging.
Season both sides of the patty evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to develop a golden-brown crust.
Flip the burger and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, placing the cheddar cheese slice on top during the final minute of cooking.
Cover the pan briefly with a lid to help the cheese melt perfectly over the beef patty.
Remove the patty to a plate to rest, and place the bun halves cut-side down in the skillet for 1 minute until toasted.
Spread yellow mustard on the bottom bun, then layer the lettuce, tomato, onion, and the cheesy beef patty before closing with the top bun.
