    • 1 can pineapple slices drained
    • 16 slices pepperjack cheese
    • 1 small red onion thinly sliced

    • ¼ cup tamari or shoyu soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

    1. Preheat the grill to 450°F or medium heat. Season beef patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside a ½ cup of bbq sauce for serving. Grill burgers for 4 minutes per side, basting with remaining sauce as they cook. Burgers should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Any sauce left after basting burgers should be discarded.
    2. Meanwhile, place pineapple slices on grill and cook until lightly caramelized, approximately 2 minutes per side.
    3. Place two slices of pepper jack cheese per burger patty and cook for another minute or until cheese has melted.
    4. Place burgers on buns with a pineapple slice and red onion. Serve with reserved bbq sauce.

    1. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes.
    2. Once cooled, if the sauce is too thin, whisk together equal parts water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the barbecue sauce and rewarm to activate the thickening properties of the cornstarch.

    Notes

    Buckwheat is gluten free; some soba noodles are made with wheat flour and buckwheat flour. To make sure this recipe is gluten free, go for 100% buckwheat. If customers don’t need to avoid gluten, then regular soba noodles will work just the same.
