A delightful twist on a classic dish, featuring ground sirloin patties smothered in a rich, smoky adobo sauce.
Combine the ground sirloin, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the adobo sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and minced garlic.
Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the patties and bring to a simmer.
Stir the sauce occasionally to ensure even thickening.
Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the patties.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Serve the patties hot with the sauce spooned over them.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
