Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving
- Burger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, and other toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, teriyaki sauce, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and carefully shape each into a burger patty, ensuring they are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the hot surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
- Toast the Buns: While the burgers cook, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until they are warm and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place the cooked patties onto the toasted buns and add lettuce, tomato, and any additional toppings you prefer. Serve immediately for best flavor.
Notes
- Use an 80% lean ground beef for juicy and flavorful burgers.
- Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce depending on your taste preference for sweetness and tang.
- Ensure patties are evenly shaped for consistent cooking.
- To check doneness, an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is recommended for ground beef.
- Additional toppings like cheese, onions, or pickles can enhance flavors.
