Bacon and Kimchi Burgers

Total Time – 30 MIN
Yield – Serves : 4

I love this recipe where Chef Wesley Genovart makes this over-the top, Shake Shack inspired burger with two thin stacked patties, thick-cut bacon, kimchi and a spicy homemade sauce.

How to Make It

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the sambal with the mayonnaise and ketchup and mix well.

Step 2

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the bacon over moderate heat, turning, until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes total. Drain on paper towels.

Step 3

Form the beef into eight 1/4-inch-thick burgers and season with salt. Grill over high heat, turning, until browned, 1 minute per side. Make 4 stacks of 2 burgers each on the grill and spoon 1 tablespoon of the sambal mayo over each stack. Top with the cheese, cover and grill over high heat just until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Spread the remaining sambal mayo on the bottom buns. Top with the burgers, bacon and kimchi, close and serve.
