While it may sound American, Teriyaki Burger was first created by Japanese chain Mos Burger in 1973. It‘s now a regular menu item at McDonald's in Japan, too! Make this delicious hamburger recipe with grilled beef patties, pineapple slices, and tangy homemade teriyaki sauce.

Ingredients

For the Sautéed Onion
  • ¼ onion
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
For the Burgers
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
For the Toppings
  • 4 slices pineapple (fresh or canned)
  • Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise (you can make homemade Kewpie mayo)
  • 2 leaves iceberg lettuce (thinly shredded)
  • 1 tomato (thinly sliced)
  • Homemade Teriyaki Sauce (make my easy Teriyaki Sauce with just 4 ingredients)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gather all the ingredients.
To Make the Sautéed Onion
    Cup of Yum
  1. Chop ¼ onion. In a small frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and sauté the onion until golden, tender, and translucent. Transfer to a small bowl to let cool.
To Make the Cheese Burgers
  1. Put 1 lb ground beef in a medium bowl and lightly season with Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then, divide the meat into 4 equal round balls and press down to make the burger patties, about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick.
  2. Heat a grill and oil the grates. Place the patties on the grill and cook on medium-high heat for 2 minutes (do not move them). Then, rotate them 90 degrees, and continue grilling for another 2 minutes. Flip the patties over and repeat on the other side. Cook for 8 minutes total or until the burgers are cooked to your liking. At the same time, grill 4 slices pineapple for 2 minutes on each side.
  3. Meanwhile, toast 4 burger buns on the grill. Right before the burger patties are done, place 4 slices cheddar cheese on the meaet. The cheese will melt with the residual heat, so you don’t have to leave the meat on the grill. Carefully remove the burgers to a plate.
To Assemble
  1. Spread Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise on the bottom of each burger bun and top with 2 leaves iceberg lettuce (shredded) and slices of 1 tomato. Layer the grilled burger, grilled pineapple, and sautéed onion. Top with 1 Tbsp of Homemade Teriyaki Sauce. Enjoy!
To Store
  1. You can keep the burgers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 2 days. Assemble everything when you‘re ready to serve.
