Kimchi Burger
- 1- 1/2 pound Ground Chuck
- 1- 1/4 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 3 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3 whole Really Good Hamburger Buns (I Am Using Breadsmith's Buttertop Buns), Sliced
- 1- 1/2 cup Kimchi (1/2 Cup Per Burger)
- Begin by making your patties.
- Divide the meat mixture into three even sections.
- Form each section into a nice patty, and generously season each side with salt and pepper.
- When both sides are seasoned, take your thumb and make a nice indention in the center of each patty.
- This evens out the burger when cooked on the grill and prevents it from turning into a big lump of meat.
- Let the patties rest on the counter while you go get your grill heated.
- Heat your grill.
- No preference on using charcoal or gas on this recipe.
- Use whichever is convenient, but get it nice and hot.
- I like to heat the grill really hot on one side, while keeping it warm on the opposite side.
- This allows you to have more control in case the coals get too hot.
- Place your patties on the grill and cook them for about five minutes.
- Just leave them alone.
- Dont (and never) smash them with a spatula, just let them be.
- Flip the patties after about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them so the grill doesnt go up in fire, and continue cooking until your desired doneness.
- Now is the time to put on the cheese as well.
- One slice per patty, then slide to the warmer part of the grill and let it cook until the cheese is melted.
- Butter the buns, and add them to the grill, just to get some nice toast marks on them.
- Now you are ready to serve.
- Take the buns off of the grill, and place the cheeseburger cheese down onto the base of the bun.
- Top with 1/2 cup of kimchi, and add the top bun.
- Thats it.
- Biting into this delicious burger results into this garlic, crunchy, and spicy texture, then the juicy burger and balance of the cheese makes every bite really, really great.
- Give it a shot.
- Kimchi alone is awesome.
- Now you know.
