Ingredients

• 1 pound Wagyu ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
• 8 pieces Large lettuce leaves (like romaine or butter lettuce)
• 4 slices Tomato slices
• 4 slices Red onion slices
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Paleo-compliant)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Wagyu ground beef with sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and let it heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing down on the burger to allow a crust to form.

Step 5

Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt to make a simple guacamole spread.

Step 7

To assemble, lay two large lettuce leaves on a plate for the base of each burger.

Step 8

Layer each lettuce base with a cooked burger patty, tomato slice, red onion slice, a dollop of guacamole, and a drizzle of Paleo-compliant Dijon mustard.

Step 9

Top each burger with two additional lettuce leaves to act as the 'bun.'

Step 10

Serve immediately, optionally pairing with Paleo-friendly sides like sweet potato fries or a simple salad.
