Ingredients
- 16 oz Wagyu ground beef
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 1 whole Ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Pickles
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, gently combine the wagyu ground beef with kosher salt and black pepper. Be careful not to overwork the meat to maintain its tenderness.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 4
Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Step 5
While the burgers are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and mix in the lemon juice.
Step 6
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.
Step 7
To assemble each burger, place a romaine lettuce leaf on a plate, add a cooked burger patty, then top with a generous spoonful of mashed avocado.
Step 8
Layer the tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickle slices on top of the avocado.
Step 9
Finish with another romaine lettuce leaf to enclose the burger. Serve immediately, enjoying the rich, indulgent flavors with a paleo twist.
