Instructions

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, teriyaki sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.
- Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can lead to tough burgers.
- Once combined, divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
- Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for about 1 minute.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the burger patties in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.
- After 4-5 minutes, flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your burgers more well-done.
- If using provolone cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the burgers are resting, prepare the buns by lightly toasting them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Prepare your toppings: wash and shred the lettuce, slice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.
- If you like, drizzle a little extra teriyaki sauce on the bottom half of each bun for added flavor.
- Start by placing the bottom half of each toasted bun on a plate.
- Place a cooked burger patty on each bun bottom.
- Add a generous handful of shredded lettuce on top of each patty.
- Layer on a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion.
- Drizzle a little extra teriyaki sauce over the toppings for an added burst of flavor.
- Finally, place the top half of the bun on each assembled burger.
- Serve the teriyaki Parmesan burgers immediately while they are hot and juicy.
- Pair with your favorite sides such as sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad.
- For an extra touch, consider serving with a side of extra teriyaki sauce for dipping.
