Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sirloin
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 4 burger buns, toasted
• 4 lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and sliced fresh ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Step 2

Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the thinly sliced red onion in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes until the onions are lightly pickled. Set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 4

Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing while cooking.

Step 5

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Step 6

While the burgers cook, prepare the wasabi mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and wasabi paste in a small bowl. Adjust the wasabi to taste.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns until golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Spread wasabi mayo generously on both halves of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf to the bottom half, followed by a cooked burger patty. Top with a portion of ginger pickled onions and the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Sirloin Burgers with Wasabi Mayo and Ginger Pickled Onions!
