At our house we often add Korean flavors to American recipes, this Bulgogi burger is a prime example. The key to this great tasting Bulgogi Burger is to marinate the lean ground beef with a simple bulgogi sauce /marinade.
For the bulgogi ground beef:
1 pound of lean ground beef I used 93% lean to 7% fat ground beef.
1/4 cup soy sauce

1 Tablespoon of raw sugar
1 teaspoon of roasted sesame oil
3 chopped green onions
1 Tablespoon freshly chopped garlic
All of this gets mixed and formed into patties.

Cook the patties on medium to desired temp.

To the griddle add 1/4 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup chopped kimchi
Mix and cook.

To make the burgers you can do protein style or put them in a bun.
Use lettuce, gochujang ketchup, the cooked kimchi and your burger patties.
I prefer them wrapped in lettuce since that is more like eating bulgogi.

Oh yum! Bulgogi burger. That is such a great idea! And healthy too since you’re using lean beef and lettuce to wrap. I’ll try this for our next barbecue session. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe is a big hit here and we prefer it with the lean beef. So healthy and delicious.
