Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 pieces large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 4 teaspoons mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients until evenly combined, but avoid over-mixing which can toughen the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the beef patties are cooking, prepare your toppings. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves and set them aside.
Slice the tomato, red onion, and avocado and set them in separate bowls.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the burgers, lay a large lettuce leaf on a plate. Place a cooked beef patty on top.
Top each patty with tomato slices, red onion rings, and avocado slices.
Drizzle a teaspoon of mustard on each burger for added flavor.
Cover the burger with another lettuce leaf and serve immediately.
