Preparation
Start the beef
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the beef; season with S&P**. **
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 3 min., until slightly browned.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the celery crosswise.
Finish the beef
- To the pan, add the celery and onions. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender.
- Add the tomato sauce and ½ cup water. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 min., until the beef* and aromatics are cooked through and the liquid has slightly reduced; season with S&P.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to broil.
- Separate the lettuce leaves; tear the leaves.
- In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar, 3 tbsp oil and S&P.
- Add the lettuce and carrots; toss well.
Toast the buns
- Arrange the buns, cut-sides up, on a foil-lined sheet pan and broil, 1 to 2 min., until golden brown (watch closely as they can burn quickly).
Plate your dish
- Divide the bun bottoms between your plates.
- Top each bun bottom with the beef, a spoonful of the salad and a bun top.
- Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
