Hawaii is such a wonderful mix of Oriental cuisines. Korean Barbecued Hamburgers is preportedly an authentic Korean recipe, but I’m not so sure. Did the Koreans, before the American invasion, have ground beef?
The other thing that makes me question the authenticity of this recipe is that one of my Junior League cookbooks from the early 1960’s has an almost identical marinade to be used on chuck roast so that it will be tender as sirloin. And it is too. All you do is give the roast a liberal dusting of meat tenderizer and marinade for a couple of hours. Wouldn’t you know, that it would be a patrician Junior Leaguer who would be passing off plebian chuck roast as sirloin?
Korean Barbecued Hamburgers:
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup minced green onion
Stir all of the above together and store in the refrigerator for several hours. Shape into 6 patties and grill or fry in a skillet.
