Chinese Cumin Beef Burgers

Step 1: Combine ground beef, cumin, sichuan peppercorns, Ground Chiles, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, molasses, and salt. Marinate the meat for 30 minutes up to 2 hours.

Step 2: Divide the meat into 2 - 6oz patties.

Step 3: Heat a 12" skillet over medium-high heat and add the patties.

Step 4: Add onions on top of the meat and gently press the onions into the meat.

Step 5: Cook for 3-4 minutes then flip the patties so that the onions cook in the rendered fat.

Step 6: Cook for another 3 minutes and then remove from heat, allowing the burgers to rest.

Step 7: Slice bao buns and toast the inside in the rendered fat left in the skillet.

Step 8: Brush both sides of the buns with mayo, add a handful of watercress, then the burger with onions, pickled cucumbers, and the top bun. Serve.
