Ingredients
8 servings
- •1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- •2 pounds lean ground beef
- •2 green onions, minced
- •3 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
- •¼ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
- •3 tablespoons soy sauce
- •2 tablespoons white sugar
- •1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
- •1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
- •1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook and stir sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until they are fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer immediately into a small bowl and let cool.
- Mix ground beef, green onions, roasted garlic, mirin wine, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, black pepper, salt, and toasted sesame seeds together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide the meat mixture into 8 portions and form each portion into a large beef patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Pan-fry the burgers in a large skillet over medium-low heat until browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees F).
