1

Make the teriyaki sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Set aside.

2

Prepare the burger patties

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (prepared in step 1), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined, but avoid overmixing as it can make the patties tough.

3

Shape and cook the patties

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4

Assemble the teriyaki burgers

Brush the remaining teriyaki sauce onto the cooked patties. Toast the burger buns and place a patty on each bun. Top with sliced pineapple, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of mayonnaise mixed with a splash of teriyaki sauce. Add lettuce and tomato for extra freshness and crunch.
