Instructions
1
Prep
Combine ground beef, 1 tbsp gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, half the scallion (sliced), salt and pepper; shape into one 3/4-inch patty.
2
Rest
Refrigerate the patty for 20 minutes until flavours meld into the meat.
3
Sear
Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; sear the patty 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and the centre reaches 160°F (71°C); lay cheddar on top in the last minute and cover to melt.
4
Plate
Stir mayonnaise with 1/2 tsp gochujang and spread on two butter lettuce leaves; stack the patty on top, add quick-pickled cucumber slices (tossed in rice vinegar) and remaining sliced scallion, close with the third lettuce leaf and serve.
