A delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring tropical flavors and a sweet soy glaze.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, cinnamon, paprika, curry powder, ginger powder, and nutmeg.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Add the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped green onions, black pepper, and seasoning salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the patties tender.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal patties, about 1-inch thick.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Refrigerate the patties for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Chilling helps the patties hold their shape during grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 6 minutes per side, basting with the soy sauce glaze.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the patties to achieve a good sear.
Grill the pineapple rings for 2 minutes per side until lightly charred.
Grilling enhances the natural sweetness of the pineapple.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a patty, a pineapple ring, and the top bun.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
