Our healthier take on a beachside burger, these patties have a delectable seared crust but are juicy inside, especially if you use a screaming-hot cast-iron skillet.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt, divided
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted
- 2 Tbsp light sour cream
- ¼ cup scallions
- 2 Tbsp chopped pickled jalapenos
How to Make It
- Combine beef, chili powder, black pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Shape mixture into 4 equal balls.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high. When the pan is hot enough to release wisps of smoke, add beef balls and press down with a firm spatula to form patties. Place a slightly smaller skillet directly on patties. Cook until charred, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove top pan, flip patties, replace top pan, and cook until charred, about 1 minute. Remove top pan, sprinkle patties with remaining ⅜ teaspoon salt, and top with cheese. Invert top pan, and cover skillet. Steam until cheese is melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Place patties on buns; top with sour cream, scallions, and jalapeños.
