Instructions

1. 1Combine the ground beef, minced fresh garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and lager in a large bowl. Mix with your hands for about 1 minute until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and firmly mold each into a patty approximately 1 inch thick.
2. 2Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature 160°F for medium). Transfer to a warmed plate.
3. 3In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, cook the center-cut pork bacon for 4–5 minutes per side until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel. In the same skillet, cook the sliced onion for 3–4 minutes until translucent and fragrant; transfer to the paper towel with the bacon.
4. 4Wipe the skillet with a paper towel, add a light drizzle of oil, and heat over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
5. 5Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the canned pineapple rings (drained). Sear for 1 minute per side until caramelized and golden.
6. 6Assemble each burger on a toasted french or hoagie roll by layering the raw arugula, sliced beet, cooked beef patty, fat-free cheddar, caramelized pineapple, crispy bacon, cooked onion, tomato slices, and fried egg.
7. 7Drizzle the inside of each burger with tomato sauce and mayonnaise (if using). Top with the remaining bun piece.
8. 8Divide the assembled burgers evenly into 4 servings and serve immediately while the components are still warm.
