Savory Sweet Chili Glaze

Method
Prepare the Burger Patty
- 1
Mix the Patty Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- 2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties that are about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Prepare the Sweet Chili Glaze

Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine.

Heat the Glaze
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Add Glaze
Flip the patties and brush the top with a generous amount of the sweet chili glaze. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
