Salt + pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp soy sauce (mixed into meat lightly)
Fresh pineapple rings (cut into slider-size)
Slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls work GREAT)
Sliced cheddar OR provolone (either fits this flavor profile)

Teriyaki Glaze

1 tsp honey
1 tsp lime juice

How to Make It (quick)

Season meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder + soy. Form small slider patties.
