3. Form 4 burger patties with each mixture, 8 total. Make the patties THICC, not just thick because they have to be thick enough to avoid any damage to the probe.

4. Insert one probe into each style of burger patty. Set up the cooks in the app with a target internal temperature of 135°F for the teriyaki burger and 145°F for the fire pork burger. No one wants undercooked pork. 😅 Once you’re done with the app setup, place the burger patties in the smoker.

5. Teriyaki
While the burgers cook, mix ¼ cup mayo, 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper in one bowl and set aside. In another bowl, toss the flour and shallots together. Fry the floured shallots in an oiled pan over medium heat until they’re golden brown. Then add the fried shallots to a paper towel lined plate and salt while warm. (teriyaki)

Fire Pork
In another bowl, mix 1 tbsp neutral oil (like grape seed or vegetable oil), ¼ cup mayo, 2 tbsp Sriracha, salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss the carrots and cucumbers together with vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper, and set aside.

6. Once MEATER notifies you to remove the patties from heat, let them rest on a wooden cutting board or resting rack until the app says they’re ready!

7. Let the temperature drop at least 10°, this is going to ensure the meat does not get overcooked while we reverse-sear! Remove the probes, then reverse sear the burger patties on an oiled pan on each side for 1 minutes until browned. Make sure the pan is HOT HOT HOT. 🔥 After searing, carefully toast the buns on the same pan while it’s still hot!

8. Teriyaki
To assemble the teriyaki burgers, add teriyaki mayo on the bottom of the toasted bun, top it with lettuce, burger patty, teriyaki sauce, pineapple, and fried onions.

Fire Pork
To assemble the pork banh mi burgers, add spicy mayo to the bottom of the toasted bun, top it with pickled veggies, burger patty, cilantro, and slices of jalapeños. 

9. Share with your friends and family, and eat it up! 🍔
