Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 rings Sliced fresh pineapple
• 4 pieces Sliced red onion
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature for medium). Baste the patties with additional teriyaki sauce during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

Step 5

While the patties are grilling, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6

Grill the pineapple rings for 1-2 minutes per side until they develop light grill marks and caramelize slightly.

Step 7

To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a grilled patty, a grilled pineapple ring, and a slice of red onion.

Step 8

Finish by topping with the other half of the toasted bun. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
