Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil for frying

How to Make Savory Soy-Glazed Beef Patties

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a thick patty, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil.
  4. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the beef patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) for medium doneness.
  5. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each patty and drizzle a little extra soy sauce for added flavor. Cover the skillet briefly to help the seeds toast.
  6. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, especially the ginger and garlic.
  • Don’t overmix the beef; this can make the patties tough.
  • Adjust the cooking time if your patties are thicker or thinner than 1 inch.
  • For a little heat, add some red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the beef mixture for extra texture.
  • Serve the patties on a bed of rice or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb alternative.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for soaking up the delicious glaze.
  • A fresh cucumber salad with sesame dressing.
  • Stir-fried vegetables for a colorful side.
  • Asian-style coleslaw for a crunchy contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or use the microwave for a quicker option.
