Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Primary Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
Burger Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Asian BBQ Glaze Components:
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes for heat
Sriracha Mayo:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tablespoon sriracha (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Burger Assembly Ingredients:
- 4 burger buns, toasted
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or Asian slaw mix
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice (to dress the slaw)
- Sliced cucumbers or pickles (optional)
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Craft burger patties by delicately blending ground beef with aromatic soy sauce, rich hoisin, nutty sesame oil, minced garlic, and cracked pepper. Gently shape into four uniform discs, creating a subtle indentation in the center to ensure even cooking.
- Heat grill or skillet to medium-high temperature. Cook patties for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, allowing a beautiful caramelized exterior to develop while maintaining juicy interior.
- Prepare the glaze by combining ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer the mixture until it transforms into a glossy, thickened sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- During the final moments of cooking, generously brush each patty with the prepared glaze, creating a glistening, flavor-packed exterior.
- Whisk together creamy mayonnaise, fiery sriracha, and bright lime juice to create a zesty condiment that will elevate the burger’s flavor profile.
- Quickly dress the cabbage slaw with a splash of tangy rice vinegar or fresh lime juice, adding a crisp, refreshing element to the burger.
- Assemble the burger by spreading the spicy sriracha mayo on the bottom bun, carefully placing the glazed patty on top, then layering with crunchy slaw, crisp cucumber slices, and fresh cilantro leaves.
- Crown the burger with the top bun, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that celebrates Asian-inspired cuisine.
Notes
- Adjust meat moisture by adding breadcrumbs or an egg if the mixture seems too wet, ensuring juicy patties that hold together perfectly.
- Experiment with meat blends like beef and pork for extra flavor complexity and richer texture in your burger.
- Chill patties before cooking to help them maintain shape and prevent breaking during grilling or pan-frying.
- Customize heat levels in sriracha mayo by gradually adding more or less sauce, catering to different spice tolerances without overwhelming the dish.
- Use lettuce wraps instead of buns for a low-carb option that keeps the Asian-inspired flavors intact while reducing calories.
- Select fresh, crisp vegetables like cucumbers and cabbage to provide a refreshing crunch that balances the rich, savory burger.
- Elevate presentation by toasting buns lightly and arranging toppings strategically to showcase the vibrant colors and textures of the Asian BBQ burger.
