Honeymoon because we had this in Oahu on the beach almost everyday of our honeymoon. And you’ll find the Pineapple Coconut Margarita recipe here.
1 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 large clove of garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 burger buns
1 pound ground beef
4 green onions, diced
1 tablespoon soy, or thick soy if you have it
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
3 pineapple rings
Lets make the teriyaki sauce first: put one cup of water in a small pot and add brown sugar, soy, honey, ginger & garlic - stir well to mix and bring to a simmer
Mix remaining 1/4 cup water with cornstarch well, then stir into simmering sauce
Stir well and it’ll thicken over a couple minutes, set aside until ready to use - btw it’ll keep a week or so in your fridge
Combine ground beef, diced green onion, soy and salt & pepper in a large bowl - mix to combine and shape into 3 patties
Clean & heat grill to medium high - use cooking spray
Put on pineapple slices and patties - and cook pineapple until well marked on both sides
Cook patties on the first side and when you flip, start basting with the teriyaki sauce - cook until both sides are done to your liking - saucing as you go
Grill buns, and build burger - bottom bun, mayo (maybe add a little more sauce to the mayo first), patty, pineapple, lid
