Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 burger buns
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the beef.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about ¾-inch thick. Use your thumb to gently press a shallow indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate dry skillet or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until just golden.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice. Place the cooked burger patty on top, followed by a generous topping of caramelized onions. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
