    • ½ cup ketchup
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ⅓ cup pineapple juice
    • ¼ cup tamari or shoyu soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
    • 2 tablespoons sriracha

    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.
