BBQ Burgers - Korean Style


Consider taking the Korean BBQ style to the next round of burgers you serve up.  Most of the ingredients you’ll have on hand if you’re used to throwing together a quick stir-fry after a long day at the office so as to make it to the couch quicker.  Lots of Asian staples are included – soy sauce, ginger, and they make for a super flavorful burger. 


Ingredients:

·         1 1/2 pounds ground beef
·         1/2 cup chopped green onions
·         1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
·         1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
·         3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
·         1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
·         1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
·         2 garlic cloves, minced
·         6 (1 1/2-ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns split
·         6 red leaf lettuce leaves
·         6 tablespoons thinly sliced radishes

Preparation:


1.       Combine first 8 ingredients. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

2.       Place patties on the grill; grill 6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer registers 165°. Remove from grill; let patties stand 5 minutes.

3.       Place buns, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top each serving with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tablespoon radishes, and top half of bun.
