Ingredients
 
 

Patty Mixture

  • 500 grams ground beef preferably grass-fed for better flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Pineapple Slices

  • 4 medium pineapple slices fresh, about 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Burger Assembly

  • 4 medium burger buns lightly toasted
  • 4 medium lettuce leaves crisp Romaine or butter lettuce
  • 4 slices red onion

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 200°C/400°F). Brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness (internal temperature should be at least 71°C/160°F for medium-well). Remove the patties and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the burgers cook, sprinkle the pineapple slices with brown sugar. Place the pineapple on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until caramelized and golden.
  • To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a beef patty, a slice of grilled pineapple, a slice of red onion, and the top bun. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the hamburger mix. If you prefer a juicier pattie, incorporate a teaspoon of melted butter into the meat mixture.
