Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Additional sliced green onions, for garnish

How to Make Teriyaki Beef Patties with Rice

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, teriyaki sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Once heated, add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  4. While the patties are cooking, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  5. Once the patties are cooked, brush them with additional teriyaki sauce in the skillet, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it on plates. Top with the teriyaki beef patties, and garnish with sesame seeds and extra sliced green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure not to overmix the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties are cooked to the safe internal temperature of 160°F.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan until it reduces slightly before using it as a topping.

Easy Variations

  • Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add grated carrots or finely chopped bell peppers to the beef mixture for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or snap peas for a complete meal.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed or sautéed vegetables, such as broccoli or bok choy.
  • A crisp salad with a sesame vinaigrette.
  • Pickled ginger or cucumber for a refreshing side.
  • Egg rolls or spring rolls for a fun appetizer.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover patties and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. You may want to add a splash of water to the rice to keep it from drying out.
