Yakiniku Burger

The Yakiniku Burger combines the rich flavors of Japanese grilled beef with the classic charm of a burger, creating a protein-packed meal that is both savory and satisfying. Topped with a tangy teriyaki sauce and fresh veggies, it's a delightful fusion of cultures on a bun.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Mirin - 15 ml
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Teriyaki sauce - 30 ml
• Lettuce leaves - 4 leaves
• Tomato (sliced) - 1 medium
• Green onions (sliced) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into burger patties.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5. Once the burgers are nearly done, brush each patty with teriyaki sauce and allow it to caramelize for about 1 minute.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, sliced tomato, green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Yakiniku Burger!
