How to Make It
Creating this burger masterpiece is easier than you think! Here’s how to bring the Hawaiian Heat Burger to life:
1. Prepare the Patties:
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Grill the Patties:
Cook the patties over medium-high heat, grilling or pan-searing for about 4-5 minutes per side. Grilling the red onions along with the patties for enhanced flavor. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese and let it melt.
3. Grill the Pineapple:
While the patties are cooking, place the pineapple rings on the grill for about 1 minute per side until slightly caramelized. The grilling enhances the sweetness and adds a smoky flavor.
4. Toast the Buns:
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a pan to get them warm and crispy.
5. Assemble the Burger:
– Spread 1 tbsp of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
– Add a layer of shredded lettuce and a cheese-topped patty.
– Place a grilled pineapple ring and a few jalapeño slices on top.
– Add a slice of ripe tomato.
– Drizzle with 1 tsp of teriyaki sauce for that signature tang.
