Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 large tomato
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, making them slightly larger in diameter than a typical bun, as they will shrink slightly during cooking.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef patties to the skillet.
4. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on the first side, or until a nice crust forms. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. While the burgers are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato into even slices.
6. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for a couple of minutes.
7. To assemble the bunless burgers, place a lettuce leaf on each serving plate, then add a cooked beef patty. Top each patty with slices of avocado and tomato.
8. Finish by adding another lettuce leaf on top, if desired, and serve immediately.
