Ingredients
For the Burger Patties:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, plus extra for brushing
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving:
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 pineapple rings (grilled or fresh)
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced red onion
- Mayonnaise or sriracha mayo
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, teriyaki sauce, green onions, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 burger patties.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and brush with a bit more teriyaki sauce.
- Toast the buns if desired. Assemble the burgers with lettuce, grilled pineapple, red onion, and a smear of mayo or sriracha mayo. Serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
- Add pickled jalapeños for a spicy-sweet twist.
- These burgers are great with sweet potato fries or a crunchy slaw.
