Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, honey, ground cinnamon, paprika, curry powder, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated.
2
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.
3
Preheat the grill to medium-hot. Once ready, place the patties on the grill and cook uncovered for about 3 minutes on each side to create a nice sear.
4
Brush a generous amount of soy sauce over each burger and continue grilling for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the juices run clear and the burgers reach your desired doneness. Baste the burgers with soy sauce a few times during this grilling period.
5
During the last 4 minutes of grilling, add the drained pineapple slices to the grill. Cook them until they are nicely browed, flipping them once for even cooking.
6
Remove the burgers and pineapple from the grill. Serve the burgers on toasted buns, topped with grilled pineapple, fresh lettuce, and any condiments of your choice, such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or spicy mustard for an extra kick.
