These Teriyaki Burgers are jazzed up burgers. They have a lot of flavor and they’re not your run-of-the-mill frozen disc that you throw on the grill with a hunk of cheese. You have to like pineapple to enjoy this one. This is a simple burger recipe, and it turns out a tender burger with big taste.
Ingredients needed for Teriyaki Burgers:
ground beef canned pineapple soy sauce green onions fresh ginger garlic pepper teriyaki glaze
A very important tip!
Because acidic fruits like pineapple can break down meats, it’s important that you assemble these teriyaki burgers and then put them on the grill. Don’t put your burger patties together and let them sit in the refrigerator. They need to go on the grill right away or you will risk the beef becoming too tender and falling apart on the grill.
What kinds of condiments are good to serve on Teriyaki Burgers?
Since these burgers have quite a bit of flavor to them, you don’t need ketchup and mustard and all of the regular burger fixings. A drizzle of teriyaki glaze and a sliced of grilled pineapple is good. I like to add lettuce, tomato and red onion. It’s up to you!
How to make homemade Teriyaki Glaze:
Combine the following ingredients in a small saucepan; stir and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then stir in a mixture of 3/4 teaspoon of cornstarch combined with 1 1/2 teaspoons water; heat and stir until thickened.
1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 tablespoon sweet rice wine 2 teaspoons brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons honey 3/4 teaspoon minced garlic 3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Doesn’t that look like a “restaurant quality” burger? That’s what my family says. It’s a burger you’d be happily eating in a good burger joint- but you made it at home!
Enjoy!
