Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (680 g) 93% lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 lb (680 g) potatoes, cubed
- 1 head romaine, shredded
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced (optional)
- 1/2 cup (56 g) shredded cheddar (optional)
- 1/4 cup (57 g) Greek yogurt for the sauce (optional)
- 2 tsp avocado oil; ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper
How to make it
- Prep everythingHeat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment or foil. Cut the 1 1/2 lb (680 g) of potatoes into 3/4-inch (2 cm) cubes and pat dry. Shred the romaine into thin ribbons, dice the 2 tomatoes, and dice the 1/2 onion into 1/4-inch (6 mm) pieces.
- Roast the potatoesToss the potatoes on the sheet pan with the 2 tsp of avocado oil, 1/2 tsp of salt and about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. Spread them in a single layer with space between them. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp outside and soft inside.
- Brown the beefAbout 15 minutes before the potatoes finish, put the 1 1/2 lb (680 g) of beef and the onion in a large 12-inch (30 cm) skillet over medium-high heat. Break it into crumbles and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until browned with no pink left and it reaches 160°F (71°C). Season well with salt, pepper and a pinch of garlic powder.
- Drain the fatTilt the pan and spoon off any fat that has pooled at the edge into a heat-safe bowl or can. Do not pour hot fat down the sink.
- Stir the burger sauceIn a small bowl, stir the 1/4 cup (57 g) of Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp of ketchup and 1 tsp of mustard until smooth and pink. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
- Build the bowlsMake a bed of romaine in each of 4 bowls. Top with potatoes, beef, tomato and the 1/2 cup (56 g) of cheddar, then drizzle with the burger sauce. For meal prep, store the beef and potatoes separate from the lettuce and sauce in the fridge up to 4 days, and reheat the warm parts in the microwave 1 to 2 minutes before building.
