Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 4 burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown. Add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough burgers.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked burgers.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until lightly golden.
To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a burger patty, and a generous portion of caramelized onions. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a simple salad.
