Method
Burger Preparation Directions
Prepare the Gochujang Aioli
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, gochujang, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
Cook the Burger Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into balls. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls in the skillet and smash them down using a spatula to form thin patties. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
Add Kimchi and Cheese
Flip the patties and top each with a generous spoonful of kimchi and a slice of pepperjack cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked through.
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on another skillet or under a broiler.
