Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 8 slices deli-sliced ham
• 4 slices (canned or fresh) pineapple rings
• 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1/2-inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.

Step 3

Place the pork patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 4

Meanwhile, brush the pineapple rings with a small amount of teriyaki sauce and place them on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes per side, or until caramelized with grill marks.

Step 5

Lightly grill the brioche buns for about 1 minute, just until toasted.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha to create a spicy mayonnaise spread.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of the spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, the grilled pork patty with melted cheese, two slices of deli ham, and a caramelized pineapple ring on top. Drizzle with a little extra teriyaki sauce if desired.

Step 8

Finish with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with fries or a side salad.
