Ingredients used to make Grilled Teriyaki Burgers:
- Olive oil
- Sweet onions, thinly sliced
- Sea salt
- 80/20 ground beef (ground turkey can work too for a healthier option)
- Ground black pepper
- Teriyaki sauce
- Pineapple rings (fresh pineapple or canned in pineapple juice will work)
- Hamburger buns
How to make Grilled Teriyaki Burgers:
- Caramelize the onions. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the onions, season with 1 teaspoon sea salt, and sauté for 15 minutes until soft and golden brown, adding water as needed to keep the onions from burning.
- Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Make the burger meat. While the onions are cooking, mix ground beef, 2 teaspoons sea salt, ground black pepper, and 1 ½ tablespoons teriyaki sauce in a large mixing bowl until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Form the mixture into 4 patties and set aside.
- Grill the burgers. Place the burgers on the grill and cook the first side for 3 ½ minutes and 3 1/2 minutes on the second side or reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees f.
- Rest. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve. Sandwich each burger patty between a bun along with 1 pineapple ring, ¼ of the caramelized onions, and 2 tablespoons of your own teriyaki sauce.
