→ Assembly
09 -
4 slices cheddar cheese
10 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
11 -
4 brioche buns
12 -
4 lettuce leaves
13 -
4 tomato slices
# Directions:
01 -
Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat until it reaches a smoking point.
02 -
Combine Sriracha sauce, honey, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
In a small pan, warm vegetable oil over low heat. Fry thinly sliced garlic until golden and crisp. Remove chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
04 -
Portion the ground beef into 4 loosely packed balls, handling gently to retain juiciness.
05 -
Place each beef ball on the hot skillet and immediately flatten with a heavy spatula or burger press to achieve thin patties. Season with salt and black pepper.
06 -
Cook patties for 2 minutes on the first side. Flip, brush the cooked side with Sriracha-honey glaze, top with cheddar slice, and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted and glaze caramelizes.
07 -
Toast brioche buns lightly on the skillet. Spread mayonnaise evenly over each bun half, then layer with lettuce, tomato, glazed cheese patty, and a generous amount of crispy garlic chips.
08 -
Plate burgers promptly and serve hot for optimal texture and flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure garlic is fried over low heat for even crispness without burning.
