Asian Barbecue Burgers Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Asian-style Sriracha chili-garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Asian toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
How To Make Asian Barbecue Burgers:
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Combine ground beef, green onion, hoisin sauce, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ginger, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well mixed. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Grill the patties on the preheated grill until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
Recipe Tips
Mix-Ins for Flavor: Stir in finely chopped green onions and a hint of chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes into the meat for added depth and a subtle kick.
Grill Sear: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to high heat and sear the patties briefly on each side to develop a caramelized crust from the sugars in the hoisin or BBQ-style sauce.
Toppings for Contrast: Balance the richness with crisp fresh toppings like shredded cabbage slaw, pickled veggies, or sliced cucumber to brighten the flavors.
Sauce Ideas: Use Sriracha mayo, sweet chili lime mayo, or a simple sesame-soy aioli to complement the grilled patties.
Assembling Tip: Toast the buns lightly and assemble just before serving to maintain the textures—crispy lettuce, juicy patty, and creamy sauce in harmony.
