These Korean-inspired beef patties are a delightful twist on traditional hamburgers, offering a burst of umami flavor with every bite.
Combine the ground beef, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
Ensure the grill or skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juiciness.
Serve the patties hot with your choice of sides and enjoy.
Garnish with additional sesame seeds or chopped green onions for presentation.
