Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onion - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and chopped green onion. Mix until well incorporated.
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 patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
