Description
A total flavor explosion combining fiery Sriracha with the savory depth of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. These bold, modern burgers feature juicy patties topped with crispy red onions and a cooling lime aioli, offering a sophisticated balance of heat and umami notes.
Ingredients
The Sriracha Patties
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 3 tbsp Sriracha + 2 tbsp soy sauce + 1 tbsp honey
- Aromatics: Garlic, ginger, salt
- Oil: Grapeseed or avocado oil
The Crispy Onions
- 1.5 cups red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper
The Lime Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Garlic, ginger, lime juice, honey, salt
Instructions
Onions: Crisp onions in a cast iron skillet for 5 mins until brown. Remove and set aside; do not wash pan.
Beef: Whisk Sriracha, soy, honey, and aromatics. Pour over beef and mix until just combined.
Sear: Shape into 4 patties. Sear in the hot onion skillet for 4 mins per side until a crust forms.
Rest: Cover patties with foil to rest while whisking the lime aioli ingredients.
Assemble: Layer toasted buns with aioli, the patty, crispy onions, and fresh vegetables.
Notes
The Sizzle Rule: A scorching pan is required to lock in moisture against the liquid marinade via caramelization.
Handle with Care: Overworking the beef after adding liquid results in a dense, rubbery texture.
Flavor Layering: Cooking burgers in the residual onion oil adds a ‘hidden’ layer of complexity to the meat.
