Japanese Curry Beef Burger
A 200g ground beef patty seasoned with Japanese curry spices, pan-seared and glazed with a thickened curry-roux sauce, layered on a toasted brioche bun with melted cheddar, shredded cabbage and Kewpie-style mayonnaise. Sweet-savoury curry notes meet a juicy griddled patty, finished with pickled ginger for brightness.

Instructions
1
Prep
Mix ground beef with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, onion, salt and pepper in a bowl until just combined, then shape into a 1.5cm-thick patty.
2
Rest
Chill the patty on a plate in the fridge for 5 minutes to help it hold together when searing.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty 3 to 4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms and the centre reaches 71°C.
4
Melt
Lower heat to medium-low, lay cheddar over the patty, cover and cook 1 minute until the cheese fully melts.
5
Simmer
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk in flour and curry powder for 1 minute until toasty, then whisk in beef stock, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce; simmer 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
6
Toast
Split the bun and toast cut-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until golden at the edges.
7
Build
Spread mayonnaise on the toasted bun base, add cabbage, set the cheese-topped patty on top, spoon curry sauce over the patty and scatter pickled ginger over the sauce.
8
Plate
Cap with the bun top and serve the burger immediately while the patty is hot and the cheese is molten.
