Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Ground allspice
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
• 1 medium Red onion (sliced)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, ground allspice, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Mix until evenly combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during grilling.

Step 3

Prepare the pineapple sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the crushed pineapple, soy sauce, honey, and red chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 5

Grill the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (e.g., internal temperature of 160°F for medium). During the last minute of grilling, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill to toast lightly.

Step 6

In a skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and butter. Once melted, add the sliced red onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a grilled burger patty. Add a spoonful of pineapple sauce on top of the patty, then a few slices of caramelized onion, and finally a slice of tomato. Top with the upper half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Caribbean Grilled Burger with Pineapple Sauce!
