Some Australians add grilled onions to this burger—feel free to make it your own.

Cooks' note:

Rolls, pineapple, and burgers can be cooked in a hot oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste such as sambal oelek
1 1/4 pounds ground beef chuck
4 kaiser rolls, split
4 pineapple rings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
4 large eggs
3/4 cup drained sliced pickled beets

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .

    Step 2

    Combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and chile paste.

    Lightly toast rolls on grill.

    Step 5

    Pat pineapple dry and brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil.
