This post is part of an amazing burger grill giveaway hosted by GirlCarnivore but the burger epicness is all my own.
This incredible easy Korean BBQ Burger is packed full of flavor with a grilled burger topped with Korean style coleslaw for an easy Asian inspired summertime dinner recipe.
If you have never had Korean BBQ you are seriously missing out. It’s sweet and savory and super rich and pretty much it’s amazing.
Want to get your kids excited about trying new foods? See my guide on how to help your kids become world food explorers.
We’ve made slow cooker Korean BBQ short ribs before but it’s always nice to swap things out every now again. This burger has an incredible amount of flavor packed into just a few ingredients.
My favorite part is that it doesn’t take long to put together because there are so few elements.
This is my second post for #BurgerMonth, earlier this month I shared this Cars Inspired BBQ Bacon Cowboy Burger that everyone is loving already. Another super easy burger!
Be sure to follow along every day for the entire month of May for chances to win the Ultimate Burger Grilling Giveaway and check BurgerMonth.com daily for all of the amazing burgers.
Giveaway details are at the bottom of this post.
Ingredients you need to make Korean BBQ Burgers:
- hamburger buns
- beef hamburgers
- mayo
- sriracha
- rice vinegar
- soy sauce
- sugar
- lemon juice
- sesame oil
- sesame seeds
- ground ginger
- minced garlic
- salt
- black pepper
- coleslaw mix
I used this recipe for Korean Coleslaw from My Korean Kitchen as the basis for my coleslaw but since my kids are not huge on spicy foods I left out the Korean red pepper. The bag of coleslaw replaced all of her main salad ingredients.
My kids also chose not to use the sriracha mayo but they still loved the burgers. Don’t be afraid to just put stuff out there and let them pick and choose. Plain mayo would also be a good addition if a dry bun is an obstacle.
How To Make Korean BBQ Burgers:
- In a bowl, combine marinade ingredients together. Place burgers in a container where they can sit and marinate like a casserole dish or large bowl.
- Allow burgers to marinate at least 15 minutes. Preheat grill to high heat. Grill burgers for 3-4 minutes per side for medium burgers.
- Lightly toast hamburger buns.
- Meanwhile, combine slaw dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss to coat. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine mayo with sriracha until well blended. Spread 2 Tbsp siracha mayo over top and bottom buns.
- Add Korean BBQ burger and top with a generous amount of the Korean style coleslaw.
Tips and Tricks
Cook times
Cooking times can vary greatly depending on what kind of grill you are using. To ensure your burgers are cooked through use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. My favorite is the Thermoworks Thermapen but the Thermopop is a good lower priced option.
Can I make the coleslaw ahead of time?
I would not recommend making the Korean style coleslaw ahead of time. It will keep for maybe 2-3 days but is definitely best the day of.

What a flavor packed burger!! I think, even as a kid, I would have devoured this burger. And I was a picky eater. The sauce maybe not as a kid, but definitely now! I couldn’t tolerate the heat when I was younger but love it now.
Thanks Christie! The sauce was not something my kids liked but both my husband and I enjoyed it. Thankfully there is so much flavor in this burger that you don’t really need the sauce if you don’t want it.
