Three of my favorite things happen to be fresh ginger, garlic, and the ever so awesome Sriracha and another of my other favorite things are big juicy BURGERS – so obviously this recipe is a match made in heaven. I’m totally a beef kind of girl and I have a special place in my heart for a giant, messy, delicious, beefy, savory, full of flavor burger and these burgers are so seriously scrumptious that I already can’t wait to make them again.
I served these humongo burgers on top of savory, spicy, tangy coleslaw topped with cucumbers and more cilantro. My kids acted like kids and ate theirs on gluten free buns and said they were totally awesome so you can just do whatever your little sweet heart desires.
Here’s the recipe – let me know what ya think and I hope you enjoy!
Ginger Garlic Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves and steams
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of sea salt
- *Optional toppings – cucumber slices cilantro leaves, more Sriracha and the following slaw recipe.
Instructions
-
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent.
-
Add the garlic and a healthy pinch of sea salt and sauté with the onions until the garlic is fragrant (don’t burn it, just cook it until that yummy garlicy smell hits your nose).
-
Set the onion/garlic mixture aside to cool.
-
In a medium sized bowl add the remaining burger mixture, add the cooled onions and garlic, and mix together with your hands.
-
Form into 7-8 patties, about an inch to an inch and a half thick and now it’s time to cook these bad boys!
-
Heat your grill pan or BBQ to medium high and once it’s hot enough for your meat to sizzle, place the burgers on the grill pan or BBQ.
-
For medium burgers cook for 3-5 minutes each side, depending on how hot your grill is.
-
Do not EVER smash your burgers while cooking – this will release all the yummy juices and leave you with a flavorless, dry, crumbly, not good burger.
-
Serve however you like – or be like me and serve on top of the following slaw recipe topped with cucumber slice and additional cilantro leaves.
Sriracha Broccoli Slaw
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli slaw
- ¼ - ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or to taste
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Mix all ingredients together and adjust seasoning according to your desired taste. Serve with burgers!
So delicious!! I RAN to the store to grab some ground beef so I could make these tonight. So worth it! My belly is full of yumminess!!!
So glad you liked the burgers!!!
What brand of sriracha do you use?
I just buy the regular Sriracha brand Sriracha. 🙂
I love Sriracha, I am going to try this over the weekend.
Awesome! Enjoy!!
Thanks for solving my “what’s for dinner” question! Love the slaw too. Great combo, thanks Sarah!
You are so very welcome Julie! I hope you enjoy the burgers and slaw!
I made the burgers and the slaw last night for dinner and it was a huge hit! I love the flavor combination of the ginger and sriracha and the crunchy goodness of the slaw. Thank you for sharing!
You are so very welcome Jess and I’m glad the burgers were a hit!

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy!
This looks awesome; I love finding new ways to use broccoli slaw!
Thank you Heather and so so great to meet you in person at PaleoFX! Please keep in touch!
Sarah! This is really amazing recipe . Added my twist and tweaked just a little. I will be revisiting this one often. Thanks for sharing
I made the burgers and slaw today! Added a bit of lime juice to both, delicious!! I will definitely make again.
It appears that part of the directions to the recipe are missing! I’m not sure if I made the burgers correctly. If you could post the remaining parts of the recipe I would be grateful!
I’m not sure what’s missing, just looked back through the recipe carefully and it’s all there! Where did you feel like something was missing and I’d be happy to help! 🙂
Who doesn’t love Sriracha? Lovely combo. The flavor of ginger is strong yet to die for. I will try out this mouth-watering recipe.
AWESOME!! BEST BURGER I have ever made OR had – including at specialty burger restaurants! My family doesn’t like onions so I cut up red, orange & green peppers and added mushrooms also to the olive oil to cook. Also added the garlic after the peppers & mushrooms cooked a bit. Also I used 1# of venison with 1# of hamburger. When done I put a very thin coat of mayo on each bun, then drizzled some Kikkoman stir fry sauce on each side also.
I too feel a portion of the recipe is missing. Where are we adding the ginger and soy sauce into the mix?
