Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 beef burger patties
Fruits and Vegetables:
- 4 slices of pineapple
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 sliced tomatoes
- 4 sliced red onions
Bread:
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Craft the teriyaki sauce by whisking soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and ground ginger in a saucepan. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring intermittently. Once bubbling, incorporate the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking until the sauce reaches a luxurious, glossy thickness.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, amalgamate ground beef with panko breadcrumbs, a portion of the teriyaki sauce, beaten egg, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Blend thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Carefully shape the seasoned meat mixture into four uniform patties, ensuring they maintain structural integrity.
- Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat (375-400°F or 190-204°C). Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes per side, adjusting time based on desired doneness.
- Simultaneously, slice fresh pineapple into round discs. Grill the pineapple for approximately 2 minutes on each side until caramelized with distinct grill marks.
- Toast hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they achieve a golden, crisp exterior.
- Assemble the burgers by layering a bed of crisp lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the grilled beef patty. Crown the patty with caramelized pineapple slices, then add fresh tomato and red onion rings.
- Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce generously over the assembled ingredients, providing an extra burst of flavor.
- Complete the burger by placing the top bun, pressing gently to meld the flavors together before serving immediately.
