Aussie Burger

By Thom7747

I dare say that you have never had a burger quite like this one. It is very messy to eat so have napkins handy. This is a spicy sweet tart burger. You'll be amazed at the taste of this burger. Some Australians add grilled onions to the burger so make it your own.

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).

Combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and chile paste.
Mix beef with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper, then form into 4 (4¼-inch-diameter) patties.

Lightly toast rolls on grill.

Pat pineapple dry and brush with ½ Tbsp oil.

Oil grill rack, then grill pineapple and burgers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until pineapple is tender and caramelized and burgers are medium-rare, about 4 minutes total.

Heat remaining ½ Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then fry eggs.

Spread chile mayonnaise on rolls, then assemble burgers with pineapple, beets, eggs, lettuce, and tomato.
