Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
How to Make Savory Beef Patties with Sauce
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the beef patties to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd them.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare the glaze by mixing together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Once the patties are cooked, drizzle the soy sauce glaze over them in the skillet, allowing it to caramelize slightly for about 1 minute.
- Remove the patties from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
- Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve a nice sear.
- Consider using a meat thermometer to accurately check doneness.
Easy Variations
- Replace ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for added nutrition.
- Experiment with different sauces such as teriyaki or hoisin for a twist on the glaze.
What to Serve With It
- Steamed rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
- A fresh, crisp salad to balance the richness of the patties.
- Stir-fried vegetables for a colorful, nutritious side.
- Asian-style noodles for a comforting accompaniment.
