How to Make Korean Barbecue Burgers

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup Korean BBQ sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and gently form each into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place patties on the preheated grill. Grill for 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Remove patties from grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. While the patties rest, lightly toast burger buns on the grill.
  8. Build your burger! Top with your choice of lettuce, radishes, kimchi, and/or a drizzle of rice wine vinegar.
