Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce
• 1 small English cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

In another small bowl, toss the cucumber slices with rice vinegar and sugar. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes to lightly pickle the cucumbers.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

While the burgers cook, spread the softened butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the Bushka Burgers by spreading the spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, tomato slices, and some pickled cucumber. Top with the remaining bun halves.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Bushka Burgers!
