Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 4 oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 2 tsp avocado oil
- ¼ cup avocado oil mayonnaise ½ lemon, zested and juiced
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, torn
- 4 whole-grain hamburger buns
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine beef, salt and pepper with half of each: Parmesan, anchovies and garlic. Gently mix to incorporate. Shape into 4 ½-inch-thick patties.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet on medium-high, heat oil. Add burgers and cook, flipping once, 3 to 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. (NOTE: You can also grill the burgers.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest with remaining garlic and anchovy.
- To a large bowl, add lettuce; toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide evenly among plates and sprinkle with remaining half of Parmesan. Place a bun on each plate; top each with a burger patty and any leftover dressing, if desired.
