Bulgogi Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and stir sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until they are fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer immediately into a small bowl and let cool.
• Mix ground beef, green onions, roasted garlic, mirin wine, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, black pepper, salt, and toasted sesame seeds together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide the meat mixture into 8 portions and form each portion into a large beef patty about 1/2 inch thick.
• Pan-fry the burgers in a large skillet over medium-low heat until browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees F).

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, gently mix the beef, ½ cup of the onion, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, the pepper, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sherry, and half of the garlic.
• Form mixture into 4 patties, each ¾ inch thick.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining onion, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, 2 teaspoons sherry, and garlic; set aside for topping.
• Lightly oil the grill or a skillet over med-high heat.
• Cook the burgers to the desired degree of doneness, 3-5 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Serve burgers on toasted and buttered hamburger buns; top with the onion-soy sauce mixture and slivered scallions.
