Instructions
- Start by preparing the teriyaki sauce, using the recipe linked here. This can be done up to 2 weeks in advance.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, hamburger seasoning, and soy sauce.
- Divide the mixture into four equal 6 ounce portions and form into ½ inch burger patties. Use your thumb to press an indentation in the middle of each burger.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- When the grill is hot, add the pineapple slices to the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side.
- During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time, add a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each burger patty.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and set them aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill, or in a skillet on the stove.
- Add a leaf of lettuce on the bottom bun (optional), then place the burger on the lettuce, spoon teriyaki sauce over the burgers, then top with the grilled pineapple and any other optional toppings, like onions, tomato, or avocado.
Notes
- Do not immediately place the burgers on the buns when removing them from the grill! By resting the grilled burgers, you allow the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers and not just soak right into the buns. I recommend waiting 5 minutes before assembling the burgers. Just like you rest a steak, resting burgers makes them more juicy and flavorful! And this process prevents your buns from getting soggy, so it’s a win-win!
- Cooking a one inch thick burger for 4-5 minutes per side over medium-high heat will result in a medium burger. If you’d like your burger medium-well, add 1 minute per side. If you’d like well-done burgers, cook them for 6-7 minutes per side.
- Always make sure your grill is hot before adding the burgers. Adding burgers (or any food for that matter) to a hot grill is important for cooking safety. It will also give you a beautiful sear on the outside, while keeping the burgers super juicy on the inside. Burgers should be cooked over medium-high heat, between 350-400 degrees fahrenheit.
- Never flatten the burgers with a spatula while they’re on the grill. This will release all of the juicy flavor in the middle of the burger, creating a hamburger that’s less flavorful and juicy.
- This recipe can be made on the stove. No grill? No problem! Simply sear the pineapple slices and cook the burgers on a grill pan, cast iron skillet, or the heaviest skillet you have available. Place the skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pineapple from the skillet and add the burger patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Add the sliced cheese on top during the last 1-2 minutes of cook time.
