KOREAN BBQ BURGERS
Tired of the same old thing for dinner? How about spicing things up with a new recipe - Korean BBQ Burgers https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/korean-barbecue-burgers make with Tebben Ranches Ground Beef Wagyu Ground Beef (1lb) – TebbenRanches (tebbenrancheswagyu.com)
These burgers are based on bulgogi, a traditional Korean barbecue specialty of marinated sirloin. If you prefer more authentic flavor, just top with a splash of rice vinegar and kimchi, the spicy-hot pickled vegetable condiment available at Asian markets.
Yield:
6 servings (serving size: 1 burger)
Ingredients
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef/sirloin
- Cooking spray
- 6 (1 1/2-ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns, split
- 6 red leaf lettuce leaves
- 6 tablespoons thinly sliced radishes
Directions
- Step 1 - Prepare grill.
- Step 2 - Combine first 8 ingredients. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
- Step 3 - Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer registers 160°. Remove from grill; let patties stand 5 minutes.
- Step 4 - Place buns, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top each serving with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tablespoon radishes, and top half of bun.
- Step 5 - Beer note: With their gingery Asian spice, these burgers call for a classic brown ale with nut flavor complements the burgers' nutty sesame oil essence. Darker beers are also a great match with the crisp snap of radishes.
