Notes

Use coarsely minced beef with enough fat to keep the patties juicy and to achieve a good sear

Keep the mixture cold while shaping and avoid over mixing to maintain tenderness

Reduce the teriyaki slowly and watch for burning the glaze should be glossy and slightly thick

Chill the pickles well then drain so they add bright acidity without watering down the burger

Toast the buns so they hold up to the glaze and pickles for a balanced texture
