Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, season your choice of ground beef or chicken with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like. Form into patties, roughly one inch thick, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, arrange pineapple slices on the grill, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized.
  4. Place chilled patties on the grill and cook about 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F for chicken or 160°F for beef.
  5. Assemble burgers by spreading mayonnaise on soft buns, layering with greens, grilled patty, teriyaki sauce, and caramelized pineapple.
  6. Serve immediately while hot and juicy, paired with sweet potato fries or tropical salad.
