Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and ground cumin.
Step 2
Gently mix the spices into the ground beef until just combined, making sure not to overwork the meat.
Step 3
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a burger patty approximately 3/4-inch thick.
Step 4
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the burger patties in the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; an internal temperature of 160°F is recommended for ground beef.
Step 7
During the last minute of cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by the cooked burger patty.
Step 9
Top the burger with a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion.
Step 10
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients and serve immediately.
