Freeze meat until cold or slightly frozen, about one hour. Freeze meat grinder parts, or processor bowl and blade, at the same time. Using a meat grinder or food processor, coarsely grind the semi-frozen meat, letting it fall into a medium bowl. (If using a food processor, pulse the meat in small batches and transfer it to a medium bowl.) Handling the ground beef gently, shape it into four rounds, each about 4 inches (10 cm) wide and 3-4 inch (2 cm) thick. Heat a large griddle or skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. Heavily season the burgers on both sides with salt. Place on the pan. Cook for two and a half minutes, adjusting the heat so the underside of the patty is browning steadily but not burning. Turn the patty, season with pepper, and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking for another two and a half minutes. Press the burger on top with a finger; it should feel only slightly firm. Transfer the patties to a wire rack set on a large rimmed baking sheet (half-sheet pan) and let stand for three to five minutes. The internal temperature will rise a few more degrees during the rest period. Meanwhile, wipe the excess fat from the griddle. Butter the buns and then place them, flat side down, on the griddle and cook until golden brown, about one and a half minutes. Spread a generous tablespoon of the Emmy sauce (see below) on the top half of each bun. Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Mound a heap of caramelized onions on the patty. Add the bun top to each. Transfer each to a dinner plate and serve, with the remaining sauce passed on the side. To make the Nguyen sauce, whisk the sugar and vinegar together in a medium bowl to dissolve the sugar. Add the gochujang and whisk to combine. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is tender and fragrant but not browned, about 90 seconds. Add to the gochujang mixture and whisk to combine. (The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to one day. Remove from the refrigerator about one hour before using so it’s not cold when served with hot food.) To make the Emmy sauce, mix the mayonnaise and Nguyen sauce together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
