Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: lettuce and tomato slices for serving

How to Make Savory Burger with Creamy Sauce

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1-inch thick.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (160°F for medium). Remove from the skillet and let rest.
3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the heavy cream and soy sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Stir in the chopped green onions and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
6. To assemble the burgers, place each beef patty on the bottom half of a sesame seed bun. Drizzle the creamy soy sauce topping generously over each patty.
7. Top with lettuce and tomato slices if desired, and place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose high-quality ground beef for better flavor and juiciness.
• Let the patties rest after cooking to retain their juices.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your taste preference.
• For added flavor, you can marinate the beef with soy sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add a tablespoon of sriracha or chili paste to the sauce for a spicy kick.
• Use different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, melted on top of the patties.
• Incorporate additional toppings like pickles, avocado, or sautéed mushrooms for more flavor and texture.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries
• A fresh garden salad
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side
• Grilled corn on the cob
• Potato wedges seasoned with herbs
