Ingredients for Asian Style Hamburgers

  • Ground Beef
  • Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • White Vinegar
  • Garlic Cloves
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Hamburger buns (as needed)
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes

How to Make Asian Style Hamburgers

  1. Shape 1 lb ground beef into six patties, about ¾ inch thick.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Set aside ¼ cup of the marinade for basting and refrigerate.
  4. Pour the remaining marinade over the beef patties in a shallow dish.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill burgers uncovered for 5-6 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Serve immediately on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and sesame seeds.

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!
