- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (plus more for garnish)

How to Make Savory Beef Stacks with Sauce
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and chopped green onions until well combined.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties to the skillet.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the drippings, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Layer the cooked patties on a serving platter, drizzling the soy sauce glaze over the top.
- Garnish with additional chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to not overwork the beef when mixing in the ingredients to keep the patties tender.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your patties are cooked to the safe temperature of 160°F.
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices before stacking.
Easy Variations
- Swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Add a spicy kick by incorporating sriracha or chili flakes into the beef mixture.
- Top with avocado slices or a dollop of creamy sriracha mayo for extra flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty side.
- A fresh cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Roasted vegetables for a colorful addition.
- Asian-style coleslaw for extra crunch and flavor.
