Instructions

  • Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • To make the Kimchi,
  • place 2 tablespoons black vinegar, rice vinegar, sugar, Gochujang, 1 teaspoon miso, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, ginger paste, and cilantro into a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
  • Add the radishes, apple, and red cabbage and toss to coat well.
  • Allow to sit at room temperature, tossing occasionally while burgers cook.
  • To make the glaze, place 2 tablespoons black vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons red miso paste and honey into a bowl, whisk until well combined and set aside to rest.
  • To make the patties, combine beef, remaining salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
  • Form the portions into patties to fit the rolls. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to allow even cooking.
  • Brush top of patties with glaze and Set patties aside until ready to grill.
  • When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once until the desired doneness. 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium.
  • Place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling. At this time also brush the patties with the remaining glaze and top with brie (each burger should get about 1.5 ounces of brie)
  • To assemble the burgers, place a patty on each roll bottom and top each with a one-sixth of the Kimchi.
  • Add the roll tops.
  • Cut in half and serve.
