Instructions
- 1
Combine the ground beef, garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger, parsley, thyme, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indent in the center of each with your thumb to prevent puffing.

Combine the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, turmeric, and 1/4 tsp grated ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reduces by about one-third, 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
