Instructions

In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and pepper and form into 4 patties.
In a small saucepan, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
Brush patties with teriyaki glaze during the last minute of cooking.
Toast hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble burgers by placing lettuce, tomato, and red onion on the bottom bun. Add the teriyaki-glazed patty and top with a pineapple ring (if using).
Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
Grilled pineapple adds a sweet contrast and enhances the teriyaki flavor.
For a spicier version, add sriracha mayo or sliced jalapeños.
