Ingredients

• Ground beef (80% lean) - 300 grams
• Cooked short rib meat, shredded - 100 grams
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onion, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1 large
• Panko breadcrumbs - 1/4 cup
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Sliced cucumber - 1/2
• Sliced tomato - 1
• Korean gochujang sauce - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, shredded short rib meat, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, black pepper, chopped green onion, egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into two patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the burger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
4. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a nice caramelized crust.
5. Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cooked patty, sliced tomato, and cucumber. Drizzle gochujang sauce on top before adding the top bun.
7. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
