Bulgogi Smash Burger

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with garlic, salt, and pepper. Hand mix until everything is evenly coated. Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts then roll each part into a round meatball. Set aside.

2. Make the bulgogi sauce: In a small bowl combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

3. Make the kimchi mayo: In a small bowl combine kimchi, mayo, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

4. Heat up your Blackstone Griddle with a little oil on medium high heat. Place rolled up beef onto the griddle. Smash/press the ball down to form a thin patty, should be about ¼ inch thick. Cook until it gets a crispy golden crust, about 2-3 minutes. Place a few thinly sliced onions on the uncooked side of the patty then flip over the entire patty to ensure the onions are underneath. Once the patty is flipped, onion side down, add mozzarella cheese and melt the cheese over the patty.

5. Lightly toast choice of burger buns.

6. To assemble the burger, spread a layer of kimchi mayo on the buns, add the cooked burger patty, and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
