Beef Burgers with Lettuce Wraps
Juicy skillet-cooked beef and cheddar burgers wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves with tomato, onion, pickles, and a creamy burger sauce.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Arrange the dry lettuce leaves on a clean work surface so that each serving has two overlapping leaves.
-
Step 2
Prepare the tomato and red onion, then set them aside with the drained pickles.
-
Step 3
Stir the mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup together to make the burger sauce.
-
Step 4
Combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Divide into four equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly wider than the lettuce wraps.
-
Step 5
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook without pressing them for 4 minutes.
-
Step 6
Flip the patties, top with the cheddar cheese, and cook for 4–6 minutes, until the centers reach 71°C.
-
Step 7
Place one cheeseburger on each pair of lettuce leaves. Top with tomato, onion, pickles, and burger sauce, then fold the lettuce around the filling and serve.
