For these umami-rich burgers, you’ll cook rounds of onion alongside the patties until they’re lightly charred, then layer it all on soft buns with a savory-sweet spread of mayonnaise, miso paste, and ponzu sauce. It’s perfectly accompanied by a hearty duo of shishito peppers and mushrooms sautéed in fragrant sesame oil.

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Peel the onion and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, keeping the layers intact. Halve the buns. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Thoroughly wash your hands and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, ponzu sauce, and mayonnaise.
In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushroom pieces and pepper pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
Place the beef in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to incorporate. Form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties. In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties and onion rounds in an even layer. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (flipping carefully, as the oil may splatter), or until the onion rounds are lightly charred and the patties are browned and cooked through.** Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
**The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F.
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved buns, cut side down. Toast 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, miso-ponzu mayo, cooked patties, and as much of the cooked onion as you’d like. Serve the burgers with the cooked vegetables. Garnish the vegetables with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
