Plan ahead the shaped uncooked burger patties need to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours to blend the flavors before grilling. If possible use fresh pineapple rings for this about 1/2-inch thick or a little larger. If you prefer a little kick then add in a small amount of cayenne pepper - You can also use half ground pork and beef - you will LOVE these burgers! Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey (you can use up to 1/2 cup honey) |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon curry powder |
1/8 teaspoon ginger powder |
1 pinch nutmeg |
2 lbs extra lean ground beef |
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste) |
2 green onions, finely chopped (or use 1 small yellow onion) |
black pepper |
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste, or use white salt) |
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce |
8 slices of fresh pineapple rings (or use canned pineapple slices, fresh is better!) |
crusty hamburger bun |
lettuce leaf |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl whisk/mix the first six ingredients together until well blended.
2. Add in the ground beef with garlic, green onions, black pepper and salt; mix to combine.
3. Shape the ground beef into 7-8 patties (about 1-inch thick).
4. Place the shaped patties on a baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 6 hours.
5. Grill the burgers over medium-high heat, brushing with soy sauce while grilling.
6. Grill for about 6 minutes per side.
7. The last 4 minutes or grilling place the pineapple slices on the grill; lightly brown on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).
8. Place a lettuce leaf on each crusty bun.
