UN-BEET-ABLE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
SESAME SEEDS
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOCHUJANG & BULGOGI SAUCE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the spring onion whites until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the grated ginger and fry until fragrant, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Mix in the gochujang (to taste) and the Bulgogi sauce. Simmer until thickening, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season and remove from the pan.
KIMCHI MAYO
In a small bowl, combine the chopped kimchi with the mayo and a splash of water. Season and set aside. When the beetroot is done, toss with ½ the toasted seeds.
BROWNED BEEF
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patty until browned and cooked to your preference, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.
YOU MADE THAT, CHEF!
Make a bed of rinsed leaves and top with the roasted beetroot, the juicy patty and generously drizzle over the bulgogi sauce. Finish by topping with the daikon matchsticks, the remaining seeds, the spring onion greens (to taste), and dollops of the kimchi mayo.
