Asian-Style Beef Sausage

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon mirin (rice wine)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

2. To make patties, lightly shape beef mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.

   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

3. To prepare crumbles, heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.
