Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 brioche buns, split and lightly toasted
- 4 pineapple rings, fresh or well-drained
- 4 slices cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup crisp lettuce or 4 lettuce leaves
- Mayonnaise or pineapple-mayo (for bun spread)
- Sesame seeds
- Neutral oil for grilling
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the glaze. Measure out about 1/4 cup to brush on later; the rest will simmer with the burgers as they cook.
- Gently shape four equal patties from the ground beef, pressing a shallow indentation in the center of each. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to keep the patties from sticking.
- Grill the patties 3–4 minutes per side for medium, flipping once. Brush the tops with glaze, and if using cheese, add a slice during the last minute to melt.
- While the burgers cook, grill the pineapple rings 1–2 minutes per side until they’re nicely caramelized. Brush with the glaze during the last minute on each side for extra shine.
- Toast the buns face-down on the grill for 1–2 minutes until just golden. Spread a thin layer of mayo (or pineapple-mayo) on the bottom bun.
- Assemble: bottom bun, lettuce, burger patty, grilled pineapple, a drizzle of remaining glaze, and a cheese slice if you like. Top with the crown bun and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy the tropical sizzle.
