Grilled Hawaiian Teriyaki Burger
Description
Ground beef is combined gently with grated carrot, scallions, fresh ginger, soy sauce, and sriracha to add moisture, subtle sweetness, and a mild kick without overwhelming the beef's flavor. The mixture is shaped carefully into patties to keep them tender. Meanwhile, a teriyaki sauce simmers on the stove, reducing into a syrupy glaze layered with pineapple juice and brown sugar for balanced sweetness and acidity.
Grilling the patties over high heat locks in the juices and adds charred flavor, while fresh pineapple slices are grilled briefly for caramelization and added fruitiness. The burger assembly includes lettuce for crunch, a grilled patty, pineapple, and a generous spoonful of the teriyaki glaze on a whole wheat bun, creating a mix of sweet, savory, spicy, and fresh textures.
This burger is great for outdoor grilling seasons and pairs well with simple sides like salad or grilled vegetables. The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated to save time on grilling day.

Instructions
- Gently combine the ground beef with grated carrots, scallions, ginger, soy sauce and sriracha sauce.
- Combine the cornstarch in cold water and dissolve. Set aside.
- Form into 8 equal sized patties, try not to overwork the meat so it doesn't get tough.

- Add cornstarch water mixture and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Heat the grill. When hot clean the grates and spray with oil.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook on high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until burgers are cooked to your liking.
- While the burgers are cooking, grill the pineapple slices for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- To serve, place a piece of lettuce on the bottom of each burger bun. Top with the cooked burger and 1 tbsp of teriyaki sauce, then top with grilled pineapple.
