Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 green onion, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Oil for cooking

How to Make Savory Beef Patty with Soy Sauce Glaze

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chopped green onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into thick patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 4 patties.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef patties to the skillet.
4. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar until dissolved.
6. In the last minute of cooking, drizzle the glaze over the patties, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
7. Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Serve the patties topped with additional chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ground beef with a good fat content for a juicy patty.
• Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear.
• Don’t skip resting the patties; it helps retain juices.
• Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by modifying the amount of brown sugar according to your taste.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
• For a spicy kick, mix in some Sriracha or a dash of red pepper flakes.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed rice or jasmine rice for a classic pairing.
• A simple green salad with sesame dressing to balance the flavors.
• Stir-fried vegetables for a colorful and nutritious side.
• Noodles tossed in sesame oil and soy sauce for a comforting addition.
