Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 0.5 red onion, sliced
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix lightly with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

Step 4

Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Step 6

Brush the cooked patties generously with the teriyaki sauce during the last minute of cooking to glaze them.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly in the same pan or on the grill until golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a teriyaki-glazed patty, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mouth Watering Teriyaki Burgers!
