Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground beef with 0.5 tbsp gochujang and a pinch of salt. Form into 4 oval cakes about 1/2-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Place cakes in the pan without moving for 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Flip the cakes. Cook the second side 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Stir remaining 2 tbsp gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar together. Pour over the cakes and toss to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Toss over heat for 1 minute until the glaze coats the cakes and looks sticky. The pan should smell fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate. Scatter sesame seeds and scallions over the top. Serve hot.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (10-12 inch)
  • small bowl for mixing glaze
