Ingredients
- 200 g Angus beef brisket strips
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 pineapple ring
- 1 sesame seed burger bun
- 2 tbsp secret burger sauce
- 1 slice yellow cheddar cheese
- 1 slice thick-cut tomato
- to taste fresh lettuce leaves
Instructions
- 1Stir-fry the beef
Add the Angus beef brisket strips to the griddle with the onions. Stir-fry together over high heat until the beef is cooked, slightly charred, and the onions have become sweet.
Tip: High heat is essential for achieving that savory charred flavor on the brisket. - 2Grill the pineapple
Place a fresh slice of pineapple onto the hot griddle. Grill it until it develops nice char marks, which concentrates its natural sugars for a sweet and sour contrast.
Tip: Do not move the pineapple slice until it has developed a good sear. - 3Apply the secret sauce
Drizzle your secret sauce over the beef and onion mixture on the griddle. Continue cooking and tossing until the sauce glazes the ingredients and caramelizes slightly.
Tip: Ensure the sauce coats every piece of beef for maximum flavor impact. - 4Melt the cheese
Once the beef and onion mixture is placed onto the grilled pineapple, top it with a slice of yellow cheese. Allow the heat from the beef to melt the cheese until creamy.
Tip: Cover the mixture briefly if needed to help the cheese melt faster. - 5Assemble the base
Start building your burger by placing a fresh tomato slice onto the bottom half of the toasted bun. This creates a refreshing base layer for the hot toppings.
Tip: Use a thick-cut tomato slice for the best texture and structure. - 6Assemble the burger
Place the top bun over the prepared burger components and press down gently to secure the layers. This action brings the beef, caramelized onions, pineapple, cheese, and fresh vegetables together for a perfect bite.
Tip: Pressing down gently helps the layers meld and makes the burger easier to eat without squashing the bun.
