Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Wagyu ground beef
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Pickles
Instructions
In a large bowl, gently combine the wagyu ground beef with kosher salt and black pepper. Be careful not to overwork the meat to maintain its tenderness.
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and mix in the lemon juice.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.
To assemble each burger, place a romaine lettuce leaf on a plate, add a cooked burger patty, then top with a generous spoonful of mashed avocado.
Layer the tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickle slices on top of the avocado.
Finish with another romaine lettuce leaf to enclose the burger. Serve immediately, enjoying the rich, indulgent flavors with a paleo twist.
