• total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

450 g ground beef

1/2 onion, minced

3 tbsp green onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp mirin

2 tbsp glutinous rice flour

2 tbsp soy sauce

3 tsp brown sugar

2 tsp sesame oil

Directions

Make the Meat Mixture

Combine the onion, green onion, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and mirin in a bowl.

Add ground beef and glutinous rice flour, then knead until thoroughly combined.

The mixture should become sticky—this helps the patties hold together and stay juicy.

Shape the Patties

Form into small circular patties, about 45 g each.

Lightly flatten for even cooking.

Cook the Tteokgalbi

Heat a pan over medium-low heat with a splash of oil.

Cook patties 2–3 minutes per side until browned and lightly charred.

Glaze

Lower heat and add the glaze mixture.

Let it bubble and thicken, coating each patty in a glossy finish.
