Description
Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers are juicy grilled beef patties glazed in sweet teriyaki sauce, topped with grilled pineapple, melted cheese, and fresh veggies on a toasted bun — a tropical twist on the classic burger.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (plus more for glazing)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp oil or butter (for grilling buns)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
- Form into 4 equal patties and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill pineapple rings for 1–2 minutes per side until charred; set aside.
- Grill burgers for 4–5 minutes per side or until cooked to desired doneness, brushing with additional teriyaki sauce during the last minute of cooking.
- Top each patty with cheese and let it melt slightly.
- Toast buns lightly with butter or oil on the grill or pan.
- Assemble burgers: bottom bun, lettuce, patty with melted cheese, grilled pineapple, tomato, onion, then top bun. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use Hawaiian sweet rolls for a sweeter bite.
- Swap beef with ground turkey or plant-based patties if desired.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or coleslaw for a full tropical meal.
