Begin by taking a mixing bowl.
Toss in the 1 lb (454g) of lean ground beef.
Add in 2 tbsp (30 ml) of Sriracha sauce for that spicy kick.
Mix well ensuring the Sriracha is evenly spread throughout the beef.
Shape this mixture into two even burger patties.
Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) of olive oil in a grill pan or skillet.
Once hot, place the patties on the pan.
Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, ensuring they are well-cooked but remain juicy.
Just before the patties are done, place a slice of low-fat cheddar on each if you’re opting for cheese.
While the patties are cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns until they are golden brown.
Time to assemble your Spicy Sriracha Lean Beef Burger! Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun.
Next, place the beef patty.
Layer with slices of tomato, pickles, and red onion.
Drizzle a little more Sriracha sauce if you’re up for extra heat.
Cap it off with the top bun.
