Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the star of our burger: the patty! Korean beef, known as ‘Uri Yuk-u’, is a great value option that offers excellent flavor. For these patties, we’ll mix the ground Korean beef with about 20% ground pork to achieve a richer taste and a more tender, juicy texture.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the ground Korean beef and pork. Add the minced garlic, salt, cheongju (or mirin), and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and well-combined. This seasoning is crucial for a flavorful patty.
Step 3
Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than your hamburger bun, as they will shrink during cooking. Gently press the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up too much.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the trendy avocado for our guacamole! Cut the ripe avocado in half, carefully remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. You can either mash it roughly or leave it slightly chunky for texture.
Step 5
For the tomato, remove the core and seeds, then finely dice the flesh. Removing the seeds prevents the guacamole from becoming too watery.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, combine the scooped avocado, diced tomato, and finely chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lime juice (or lemon juice). Gently mix everything together, being careful not to overmix, which can make the avocado mushy. Aim for a slightly chunky consistency.
Step 7
Next, let’s whip up a quick and delicious horseradish sauce. Simply mix the mayonnaise, honey mustard, and horseradish in a small bowl until well combined. This sauce adds a wonderful tangy and slightly spicy kick to the burger.
Step 8
Prepare your hamburger buns. You can lightly toast them on a griddle or in a toaster oven until golden brown. This step adds a nice crispness and prevents the bun from getting soggy.
Step 9
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the prepared patties in the hot pan. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to ensure they cook through without burning. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 10
When the patties are almost fully cooked, place a slice of cheese on top of each one. Cover the pan for a minute or two to allow the cheese to melt beautifully over the patty, creating a wonderfully gooey texture.
Step 11
Time to assemble your masterpiece! Spread a generous amount of the horseradish sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with fresh lettuce, a slice of onion (optional), a hearty spoonful of guacamole, crispy bacon, a fried egg, and finally, the cheesy Korean beef patty. Drizzle with ketchup and crown with the top half of the bun.
Step 12
And there you have it! Your impressive Korean beef Guacamole Burger is ready. This hearty and delicious homemade burger, bursting with fresh flavors and rich, savory notes, is perfect for a picnic or a special weekend treat. Enjoy every bite!
