Main Ingredients

1 pound Ground beef

2 tablespoons Korean pepper paste (Gochujang)

1 tablespoon Aged soy sauce

Method

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix Korean pepper paste, soy sauce, and brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.

Cook the Onions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Patties

In a bowl, combine ground beef with half of the prepared sauce. Form into 4 equal patties.

Grill the Patties

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Add Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of PepperJack cheese on each patty and cover until melted.

Assemble the Burgers

Spread the remaining sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun. Add a lettuce leaf, the grilled patty with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and a generous scoop of kimchi. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then place the top bun on.

Serve

Serve the Korean burgers immediately and enjoy!
