1 tsp Finely chopped garlic

2 Spring onions, finely chopped

1 tsp Sugar

8 Iceberg lettuce leaves, trimmed

Method

  • Mix the beef with the ginger, garlic, spring onion, soy sauce and sugar. Form into 8 long patties and brush with vegetable oil.
  • Preheat a ridged chargrill or barbeque to moderately high and cook the patties for 3 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, covering loosely with foil.
  • Place the patties in the lettuce cups and top with the kimchi to taste. Serve with tomato slices and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Tips

  • For an Authentic Korean take, try using blanched and chilled cabbage leaves instead of lettuce cups.
  • Uncooked beef patties can be prepared up to a few hours ahead and refrigerated until needed.
