Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 0.5 lb Ground pork
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 slices Pineapple slices (fresh or canned)
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Tomato slices
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sliced onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, panko breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F for ground meat). In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the top of each patty with teriyaki sauce and allow it to caramelize slightly.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns on the grill or a toaster until lightly golden.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the cooked teriyaki burger patty. Place a grilled pineapple slice on top of the patty, followed by optional sliced onions, if desired. Finish with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve the burgers immediately with additional teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
