Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20) Substitute with ground turkey for a leaner option.

  • 1 tbsp Gochujang Paste Adjust according to your spice tolerance.
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar Can be substituted with honey or maple syrup.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Use fresh for the best taste.
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Fresh is recommended but ground ginger works.
For the Gochujang Mayo
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Use avocado or vegan mayo for dairy-free.
  • 1 tbsp Additional Gochujang Mix to taste for spiciness.
For Assembly
  • 4 pieces Burger Buns Consider kimchi-stuffed steamed buns for a twist.
  • 2 cups Fresh Vegetables (Lettuce, Cucumber) Pickled veggies are a great winter substitution.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with soy sauce, gochujang paste, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix gently and let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Divide the marinated beef mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty, pressing a dimple in the center.
  3. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes on one side until caramelized, then flip and cook for another 4–5 minutes.
  4. Mix mayonnaise with additional gochujang in a small bowl for the mayo. Adjust according to heat preference.
  5. Toast the burger buns and assemble by placing a patty on each, spreading gochujang mayo, and adding fresh vegetables.
