You are correct, red meats are the worst for the environment, which is why I only eat them on special occasions, just like flying, it isn't sustainable to overconsume, and it should be minimised to whichever level you are willing to do.

For ground beef, the best solution is to make sure you have enough fat to get good browning. People usually say 80/20 ratio, but I like to have 25% fat on my burger patties. As an experiment, try making a patty with lean meat and you will see how much the moisture will evaporate rapidly and take the heat away from the meat, giving you a sad grey meat. With enough fat, it will keep conducting heat into the crust without boiling all the water inside; as a bonus, you get juicy burgers this way.
