Print Recipe

A juicy beef burger glazed with teriyaki sauce, topped with grilled pineapple and a creamy, spicy sriracha mayo for a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and heat. Quick and easy to make, ideal for grilling or stovetop cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup (120ml) teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 4 slices fresh pineapple rings (about ½ inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (120g) mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 4 soft burger buns (brioche or potato buns)
  • Fresh lettuce leaves
  • Thinly sliced red onions
  • Optional: sliced avocado or pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 even patties about 4 inches wide and ¾ inch thick. Let rest.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan with vegetable oil.
  4. Grill pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and grill marks appear. Remove and set aside.
  5. Place burger patties on grill or pan. Grill 3-4 minutes on first side, then flip. Brush cooked side with teriyaki glaze (mix teriyaki sauce, honey, and toasted sesame oil). Brush other side after flipping. Cook another 3-4 minutes until desired doneness.
  6. In the last minute, brush patties with a final layer of teriyaki glaze. Toast burger buns cut-side down on grill or pan until golden, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Assemble burgers by spreading sriracha mayo on bottom bun, layering lettuce, teriyaki-glazed patty, grilled pineapple, red onion slices, and optional toppings. Top with bun crown.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.

Notes

If teriyaki glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water to loosen before brushing. Avoid overmixing beef to keep patties tender. Adjust sriracha in mayo to taste. Toast buns well to prevent sogginess. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free buns. Can substitute ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based patties.
