Ingredients




1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion chopped
4 green onions chopped
3 tablespoons ground toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon coarsely-chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cooking oil
6 hamburger buns
(or 4 pita pocket breads, halved)
Cilantro
Green onions
Hoisin sauce
Favorite hamburger condiments
Pickled cucumbers, carrots, or daikon

Preparation

1 Combine the patty ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions; lightly shape each portion into a patty, 3/4- to 1-inch thick. For pita bread, make 8 smaller patties. 2 Heat a wide frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Brush with the oil. Add the patties and cook to your liking, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. 3 Serve in buns or pita bread halves with your favorite condiments. 4 This recipe yields 6 servings.
