Ingredients

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, fish sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, shallot, cilantro, Thai basil, and ground white pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties slightly larger than your buns.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Let burgers rest for 2 minutes before serving.
While burgers cook, combine cucumber slices, red onion, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Toss well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Lightly toast gluten-free buns on the grill, if desired.
Serve Thai herb-infused beef patties on toasted gluten-free buns. Top with extra cilantro or Thai basil if desired. Plate with a side of cucumber salad.
