Ingredients

• 400 grams ground beef
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 4 large leaves Iceberg lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 slices dill pickles, sliced
• 1 medium small tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Divide the ground beef into four equal balls weighing about 100 grams each.

Step 2

Heat a cast-iron skillet or a heavy griddle over high heat and allow it to get extremely hot.

Step 3

Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the cooking surface evenly.

Step 4

Place two of the beef balls onto the skillet, leaving enough space between to smash them.

Step 5

Using a firm spatula, press down on the beef balls to flatten them to about 1/4 inch thick patties. Hold for 10 seconds to ensure maximum contact with the skillet.

Step 6

Season both patties liberally with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Let the patties cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are brown and crispy.

Step 8

Using the spatula, flip each patty and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Allow the cheese to melt as the patties cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside. Repeat the cooking process for the remaining two beef balls.

Step 10

While the second set of patties is cooking, prepare your lettuce buns by washing and patting dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 11

Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of two large lettuce leaves.

Step 12

Assemble the burger by placing a cheesy patty onto one prepared lettuce leaf, add slices of dill pickle, avocado, and tomato.

Step 13

Top with another patty and cover it with a second lettuce leaf, mayonnaise side down.

Step 14

Repeat the assembly for the second burger.

Step 15

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Low Carb Double Smash Burger without the guilt of high carbs!
