Ingredients for Asian Peanut Burgers

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Ground Ginger

How to Make Asian Peanut Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sriracha, and sesame oil. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Asian Peanut Burgers!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
