Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 Carrot (julienned)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and one of the thinly sliced green onions.
Add the ground beef to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and gochujang until smooth. Set the gochujang mayo aside for later.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or on a toaster for added texture.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the gochujang mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, cucumber slices, julienned carrots, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Finish with the remaining sliced green onion and the top bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
