  • 12 oz 85% lean ground beef
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp traditional Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary
  • 2 oz romaine lettuce
  • 4 oz tomatoes sliced

INSTRUCTIONS

1

In a large bowl, mix together 12 oz ground beef, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground pepper, 1/2 tsp oregano, 2 tsp mustard, and 1 tbsp flour.

2

Divide evenly into 4 balls (about 3.3 oz each). Shape each ball into a 3/4 - 1 inch-thick patty. Preheat the oven to 425 ℉.

3

Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 tsp fresh rosemary in a nonstick skillet, heat over medium-high. Add patties, sear on high heat in the first 1 minute, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook each side for about 2 - 3 minutes. Transfer patties to plate.

4

Spread 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter on 4 hamburger buns. Bake at 425 ℉ for 3 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, make the sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp Greek yogurt.

6

Layer romaine, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and then patties on the burger buns.

7

Add the mayonnaise sauce and top with 1 oz cheddar cheese. Serve warm.
