Prep: 20 min · Cook: 15 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb ground beef
• 4 count brioche buns
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup mirin
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 cup cabbage
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 3 count scallions
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Cooking instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar. Simmer over medium heat until thickened into a glaze, about 5 minutes. (about 5 min)
2. Thinly slice the cabbage, mince the ginger, and slice the scallions. Toss together in a bowl with rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. Divide ground beef into 4 equal patties, indenting the centers slightly to ensure even cooking.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties until browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F, about 4-5 minutes per side. (about 10 min)
5. Brush the glaze generously over the patties during the final minute of cooking, flipping once to caramelize slightly.
6. Toast the brioche buns, then assemble each burger with a beef patty and a heap of the ginger slaw.
