  2. Make Burger Patties by combining ground beef with cooled teriyaki sauce and panko breadcrumbs. Season and form into four equal patties.
  3. Cook Patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  4. Create Cheese Skirt by forming a mound of grated Parmesan cheese on a flat surface, placing patties on top when almost done cooking to form a crispy skirt.
  5. Assemble Burger by toasting buns, spreading teriyaki sauce, placing the patty, and adding lettuce, tomato, and onion.
