Grilled Teriyaki Burger Sliders with Pineapple

These scrumptious teriyaki burger sliders are packed with flavor and made with a quick and easy homemade teriyaki sauce.

As if these burger sliders aren’t delicious enough on their own, they’re also made with grilled pineapple, melted Swiss cheese and served with homemade teriyaki sauce.

They’re easy to make, and the teriyaki sauce tastes so good on the burger, and in combination with the grilled pineapple.

These juicy burgers make a wonderful appetizer as well as a main dish.

They can also be customized to your liking.

Adding sliced tomatoes, fresh spinach leaves, lettuce and mayonnaise are delicious options.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Teriyaki Sauce – garlic, pineapple juice (from the can of sliced pineapple), Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey

Sliders – ground beef, cilantro, green onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, Swiss cheese, slider buns (or small rolls), and teriyaki sauce

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

To a medium size pot, add chopped garlic,

Hoisin sauce,

soy sauce,

sesame oil,

rice vinegar,

and,

all of the pineapple juice from an 8 ounce can of sliced pineapple.

Add the honey and stir all ingredients together.

Cook the sauce on low to medium heat until it starts to thicken (about 15 to 20 minutes).

Stir the sauce as its cooking.

Once the sauce starts to thicken, remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

For the Cilantro Burger:

Heat the barbecue grill on medium heat.

In a medium size bowl add ground beef,

chopped cilantro,

red pepper flakes,

chopped green onions,

salt, and garlic.

Mix together,

…and make 4 small thick patties.

When the grill is medium-hot add the burgers on the grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side (or longer if more well-done burgers are preferred).

For the last minute of cooking time, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each burger.

Transfer the burgers from the grill onto a plate, cover with foil and set aside (use a long enough piece of foil so it can be lifted high enough where it doesn’t touch the cheese).

For the Sliders:

For the Pineapple Slices – While the burgers are cooking, add slices of pineapple to the grill.

As soon as grill marks show on the bottom side of the pineapple slices (about 2 to 3 minutes), turn them over.

Then as soon as there are grill marks on the other side, remove the pineapple from the grill onto a plate and set aside.

For the Buns – Slice the buns in half from side to side and lay them out with the cut sides facing up.

Drizzle teriyaki sauce on the sides that are facing up.

Then add a slice of grilled pineapple and a cilantro burger to each bottom side of the bun.

Next,

drizzle more teriyaki sauce on top of the burger.

Cover the slider with the top sides of the bun and serve warm.

These sliders can also be made with additional condiments such as sliced tomatoes, fresh spinach leaves, lettuce and mayonnaise.
