Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of pineapple
- 4 slices of cheese
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Gather 1 lb of ground beef, 4 hamburger buns, 4 slices of pineapple, 4 slices of cheese, 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of lettuce, and 1 sliced tomato.
- In a mixing bowl, take the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a tablespoon of teriyaki sauce to the beef for extra flavor. Mix gently to combine.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the burger patties on the grill or skillet.
- Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on one side. While they are cooking, prepare the pineapple slices by brushing them lightly with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- After the first side of the burgers is cooked, flip them over. Place a slice of cheese on each patty and add the pineapple slices to the grill or skillet at the same time.
- Cook the burgers for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired level of doneness.
- While the burgers are finishing, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a layer of lettuce and a slice of tomato.
- Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese and grilled pineapple on top of the tomato. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce over the pineapple.
- Cap each burger with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Tips
- • For the most flavorful burger, use ground beef with a slightly higher fat content (80/20 blend) to ensure juiciness • Make sure your grill or skillet is properly preheated to get those perfect grill marks and caramelization • Don't overwork the meat when forming patties - gently shape them to keep the burger tender • Let the burger patties rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking for more even cooking • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers reach a safe internal temperature of 160°F • For extra flavor, you can marinate the pineapple slices in a little teriyaki sauce before grilling • If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works perfectly for achieving a delicious sear • Toast the buns just before serving to keep them warm and crisp
