This teriyaki burger recipe is a must-try! Juicy burger flavored with a sweet teriyaki sauce and served with grilled pineapple and onions on a crispy brioche bun!
Preheat the grill to medium high. Clean and lightly oil the grates.
Combine the ground beef, 3 Tablespoons Teriyaki sauce, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Mix just until combined with your hands and shape into 4 patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a well in your patties with your thumb to prevent from bulging.
Place burgers on the grill and cook 4 minutes. Flip and then brush on remaining sauce. Cook an additional 4 minutes, or until juices run clear. Flip and add any additional teriyaki sauce. During the last minute of cooking add cheese to burgers if desired. Remove from the grill when they have reached an internal temperature of 160-165°F. Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Place pineapple rings and onion slices on the grill. Cook about 3 minutes per side, or until tender.
Serve hamburgers on buns with pineapple slices and onions. Add any additional desired toppings.
Notes
Storage: Place leftover patties in a covered container for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months. If freezing, wrap each patty in plastic of foil to prevent freezer burn.Hamburger Buns: If buying store bought I prefer Bricoche. If you want, you can also make homemade hamburger buns. To make them extra delicious, spread some butter on them and place the flat sides on the grill for 1-2 minutes. Teriyaki Sauce: I love to use this homemade teriyaki sauce, however you can also use store bought.
