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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
