Ingredients

  • Ground beef (kosher) - 250 grams
  • Avocado - 1 medium, ripe
  • Yuzu juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Soy sauce (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
  • Panko breadcrumbs - 3 tablespoons
  • Green onions - 2, finely chopped
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Burger buns (kosher) - 2
  • Butter (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
  • Lettuce leaves - 2
  • Tomato - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 2 equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the burger patties to the skillet.
  4. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
  5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the avocado by mashing it in a bowl and mixing in the yuzu juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet until golden brown.
  7. Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of yuzu avocado on the bottom bun, adding a lettuce leaf, placing the cooked patty on top, and finishing with a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your unique Yuzu Avocado Burger.
