In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Add the beef patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the thinly sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and water to the onions, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the onions are coated in the sweet and sour sauce.
Serve each beef patty topped with a generous scoop of sweet and sour onions. Enjoy immediately!
