Slice the yellow onion into thin half-moons.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
While the onions are caramelizing, gently shape the raw ground beef into a single 1-inch thick patty, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep it tender.
Evenly season both sides of the beef patty with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a separate cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
Place the patty in the hot pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
During the last 60 seconds of cooking, place the bun halves cut-side down in the pan to lightly toast until golden.
Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the beef patty and a generous heap of the caramelized onions.
