Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) ground beef
2 tbsp (30 g) butter
1 head lettuce
4 oz (115 g) cheddar cheese
1 lemon

Instructions

1. Press ground beef into thick flat steaks and score the surface lightly to ensure even cooking.  
2. Melt butter in a hot skillet and sear steaks until a deep crust forms, flipping to cook through. Remove steaks and keep warm.  
3. Add a little more butter to the pan, quickly toss torn lettuce just to wilt slightly, return steaks to the plate, sprinkle with grated cheddar, and squeeze lemon over everything before serving.
