This Polynesian Burger recipe features tender and juicy beef patties marinated in a simple yet very flavorful sauce that combines soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh ginger root and Worcestershire sauce. If you enjoy teriyaki burgers, then you will thoroughly enjoy these grilled Polynesian burgers, in that the marinade for these burgers has that familiar sweet, tangy and salty factor. The
		marinade is also used for basting while these burgers are on the grill, giving these patties more flavor and added succulence. These Grilled Polynesian burgers are topped with thinly sliced fresh green bell pepper rings and tomato slices, which go perfectly with the Polynesian theme and add freshness and wonderful crunch. (If desired, sliced red bell peppers can be combined with the green bell peppers and will add a little sweetness.) These burgers also taste great with or without condiments, because the meat retains enough of the marinade to keep them moist, juicy and full of flavor. If you do prefer to add condiments to your burger, mayonnaise and/or Thousand Island salad dressing

compliment the flavors nicely. If preferred, you can also add some sautéed mushrooms and/or a sliced pineapple ring. The above photo shows a Polynesian Burger served in a country potato bun, but these burgers taste fantastic on any traditional hamburger bun, French roll, Kaiser roll, or any other bun or roll you prefer.

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup water

1 clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons minced or grated fresh ginger root

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

6 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar

3 pounds lean ground beef

8 hamburger (or other) buns, split and buttered (butter is optional)

thinly sliced tomatoes

thinly sliced green bell pepper rings

Directions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water garlic, ginger root, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Set aside.

Shape beef into 8 patties (about 1-inch-thick each). Note: If preferred, you can make thinner patties (about 3/4-inches thick), which will result in a few more patties, in which case you will need extra buns.

Place a large plastic bag in a large shallow baking pan. Place patties side-by-side in a large, heavy-duty plastic bag, then pour marinade into the bag over all the patties. Tie a knot in the top of the bag to securely seal, then gently lift and move the baking pan around a little to distribute the marinade over the meat. Place baking pan with bag of patties in refrigerator and marinate for 1-2 hours.

After patties have marinated, lift patties from marinade, briefly allowing excess marinade to drip back into the bag. Reserve marinade for basting while grilling. Lightly grease or spray grill with nonstick spray, then place patties on grill (keeping patties in same position as they were in the bag with the wettest sides facing down), about 4-6 inches above a bed of hot coils. Baste tops of patties and cook, turning only once after first side is finished cooking (occasionally slightly tilt patties up after cooking for a few minutes to to check doneness on bottoms of patties). Cook patties until done to your preference. (Note: Making a small cut in the center of patties will help to determine doneness.) When patties are almost done, place buns, cut side-down, around outer portion of grill to lightly toast (watch buns closely, as they will toast fast). Serve patties on toasted buns with sliced tomatoes and green (and red, if desired) bell pepper rings.
