Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

While the oven warms up, break a head of broccoli into evenly sized florets. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 3

Put the sheet pan in the hot oven and bake for 15 to 22 minutes, until the florets are browned and crisp around the edges.

Step 4

Using a cast iron skillet set your stovetop to medium-high heat. Let it heat up for a minute, until it is very hot.

Step 5

Brush the skillet with vegetable oil.

Step 6

Take 1/4 pound of ground beef and loosely shape it into a ball. Do NOT pack. Place the ball of meat on the skillet. Work in batches; I can fit 2 at a time on my skillet.

Step 7

Smash the burger with a metal spatula. You want your 1/4 pound burger to be about 4 inches across.

Step 8

Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Let cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the outer edges are brown.

Step 10

Flip, season, and place a slice of Dairy free cheese on the burger. Cook until the cheese droops, about 1 more minute for medium rare. Remove from the skillet.

Step 11

Serve with a soft warm bun and toppings.
