Tips for Grilling Teriyaki Burgers

Grilling is an art and can take some practice. Use these tips to make sure that your burgers turn out juicy and delicious!

  • 80/20 Ground Beef: I like to use patties that are a bit fatty! That is what is going to create a deliciously juicy and flavor-filled hamburger patty. Most of the fat cooks off while you grill it anyways. You could go lanugo to an 85/15 fat ratio but I wouldn’t go any lower than that. This will make sure that your hamburgers aren’t dry!
  • Size: The weightier thickness for a hamburger patty is well-nigh ¾ inches thick. When you are forming the patties, make them well-nigh ½ inch worthier than the circumference of your bun so that as they melt and shrink, they don’t wilt too small!
  • Flip: Only flip your burgers once. It dries them out and you risk breaking the patty if you are continually trying to flip them.
  • Let it Rest: Meat should unchangingly sit for a few minutes without stuff taken off of the heat. This keeps the juices in the meat and helps it not dry out.

How to Know When Burgers are Done

I like to use an internal meat thermometer to trammels and see when my teriyaki burgers are cooked all the way through!

  • Medium Rare: Internal temperature of 130-135 degrees Fahrenheit with a pink center.
  • Medium: 135-145 degrees Fahrenheit with some pink in the center.
  • Well: 145-155 degrees Fahrenheit with only a tiny sliver of light pink.
  • Well Done: 155-165 degrees Fahrenheit and the part-way is all brown.
