  1. In a large bowl, gently break up the ground beef. Add pressed garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Divide into four equal portions and shape into 1-inch thick patties, creating a shallow dent in the center.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the patties for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Coat each patty with Korean BBQ sauce before serving.
  6. Assemble the burgers with chili garlic mayo, glazed patties, and kimchi slaw on the buns.
