Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (plus extra for glazing)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Burger Assembly
- 4 burger buns, toasted
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Optional: sliced pineapple
- Optional: mayonnaise

Instructions
- Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine all ingredients without overworking the meat to ensure juicy patties.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick, ensuring even size for uniform cooking.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat until hot and ready for cooking the patties.
- Cook the Patties: Place patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip and brush the tops with extra teriyaki sauce, then cook for another 4-5 minutes until patties reach preferred doneness and have caramelized teriyaki glaze.
- Toast the Buns: While patties cook, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden and slightly crisp for added texture.
- Assemble the Burgers: Layer the toasted buns with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, cooked patties, thinly sliced red onion, and optionally add pineapple slices, mayonnaise, or cheese as desired.
- Serve: Serve the burgers immediately while hot and enjoy the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and fresh flavors.
