Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil.
In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties, slightly larger than the buns.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove and set aside to rest.
While the patties are cooking, grill the pineapple rings for 2 minutes per side until caramelized and lightly charred. Set aside.
Lightly grill the ham slices for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Toast the burger buns cut side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce to make a teriyaki-mayo spread.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the teriyaki-mayo mixture on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, a burger patty, a slice of grilled ham, a pineapple ring, and red onion slices. Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce on top, if desired, and close with the top bun.
Serve the Hawaii Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
