Grilled Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers

This burger was inspired by my travels to the Hawaiian Islands. Once Covid has settled down, I’m heading back there.

For the burgers:
Combine the ground beef with grated carrots, scallions, ginger, soy sauce
and sriracha sauce.
Form into 8 equal sized patties and brush on olive oil.

For the teriyaki sauce:
Combine cornstarch in cold water and dissolve. Set aside.
Mix soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, grated ginger and garlic in
small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil and simmer until sauce
reduces, about 15 to 18 minutes.
Add cornstarch water mixture and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove
from heat and set aside to cool.

Get the grill nice and hot.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about about 5 to 7 minutes on
each side, or until burgers are cooked to your liking.
While the burgers are cooking, grill the pineapple slices for about 2 to 3
minutes on each side.

To serve, place a piece of lettuce on the bottom of each burger bun. Top
with the cooked burger, teriyaki sauce, and grilled pineapple. Serve with
sweet potato fries. Guess what, it’s eatin time!!!
