Ingredients
- 165g Grass-fed ground beef
- 40g Whole-wheat bread, toasted
- 150g Onion, raw
- 150g Spinach, raw
- 2g Olive oil
Method
- 01Slice the onion into thin half-moons. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat with half the olive oil. Add the onions, stirring occasionally until they are deeply golden, soft, and sweet, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
- 02Shape the ground beef into a 1-inch thick patty, indenting the center slightly with your thumb to ensure even cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 03Wipe the skillet clean, increase heat to medium-high, and add the remaining oil. Once the pan is shimmering, add the patty. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side for a perfect medium-well finish, until a crust forms.
- 04Meanwhile, toast the whole-wheat bread.
- 05Briefly wilt the spinach in the hot skillet juices for 30 seconds until just bright green and tender.
- 06Assemble the burger: Place the patty on the toasted bread, pile high with the caramelized onions, and serve the wilted spinach alongside to complete the plate.
