Norma and I just got back from a two week visit to Waikiki. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It was our Silver Wedding Anniversary and we hit most of our favorite places. I missed out on anything teriyaki this time so I thought it would be a good idea to grill up some up on my Weber for our kids who came over to visit and welcome us back to mainland life. This burger is one of my top three; Southwestern and Animal being the other two. This burger delivers authentic teriyaki flavor and fried or grilled these are awesome! Great on toasted potato buns.

 

Ingredients for 5:

• 1 1/4 lb. ground beef (85% lean)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (Kikkoman)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (Christopher Ranch chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (Spice World minced)
• 1 egg
• Hamburger buns (Oroweat Country Potato)
• Butter for buns

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients and form into patties. The meat texture of the meat mixture will be much moister than just meat alone but will not hinder the Pattie forming or cooking.

 

Lay the patties on a baking sheet in a slightly overlaid fashion. This way they remove easily from the baking sheet when placing on the grill. Place the patties in your refrigerator till time for grilling.

 

Butter tops and bottoms of buns for toasting. Grill or fry the patties for around 15 min or until done to your likeness.

 

Place the done Teriyaki patty on the toasted hamburger bun with mayonnaise, lettuce and a slice of tomato.

 

Optional/additional toppings: Slice of Onion, Grilled Pineapple, Sautéed Mushrooms, Roasted Green or Red Peppers, Swiss or Pepper Jack Cheese, Avocado.
