Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Pineapple juice
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Water
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 Red onion, sliced
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Cooking oil
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and pineapple juice. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens into a teriyaki glaze. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki glaze. Mix gently but thoroughly to incorporate the flavors.

Step 4

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into burger patties. Make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 5

Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking oil. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, brush each patty with a layer of the remaining teriyaki glaze.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill for about 1 minute until lightly crispy.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, a tomato slice, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade teriyaki burger!
