Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped shallots, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, star anise, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the beef broth in a small pot and bring it to a simmer. Remove the star anise after a few minutes.
