Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 4 pieces Pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
- 4 pieces Cheddar or Swiss cheese slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger over medium heat to make the teriyaki sauce. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Set aside.
Form the ground beef into four equal patties, about ¾ inch thick. Gently press the center of each patty to create a slight indentation to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness (or adjust to your desired level of doneness). During the last minute of cooking, brush the patties generously with the prepared teriyaki sauce and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, grill the pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly charred.
Lightly butter the insides of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a grilled burger patty with melted cheese, a grilled pineapple ring, and a tomato slice on top. Drizzle some extra teriyaki sauce if desired, then finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like French fries or a fresh salad.
