Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp pineapple juice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 0.5 red onion (sliced)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Grill the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, brush each patty with 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce.
At the same time, grill the pineapple rings for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are lightly caramelized and have grill marks.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, the cooked burger patty, a grilled pineapple ring, a slice of red onion, and an additional drizzle of teriyaki sauce if desired. Place the top half of the bun on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Polynesian Burgers!
