Kylie Jenner Just Taught Me Her Smart Trick for Making Burgers Way More Flavorful

Kylie Jenner is known for her glamorous style and makeup empire. But she apparently also is a secret foodie who knows cooking tricks. One of our favorites? A secret ingredient that will make your burgers even more flavorful before throwing them on the grill: teriyaki sauce.

In a video with her sister Khloé Kardashian, Jenner shares that her “secret potion” when making burgers is to drown the meat in teriyaki sauce. She then proceeds to douse the ground beef in the bowl with the sauce, mixes it up with clean hands, then forms the patties.

Her sister’s reaction is very similar to ours. “Who wants a non-flavorful patty?” Kardashian teases. Jenner then reaches for the teriyaki sauce, and her sister reacts with a surprised cheer, agreeing that it is the “secret potion” for a flavorful burger.

So what kind of teriyaki sauce do they use? If you look closely in the video, Kylie grabs a bottle of Soy Vay Teriyaki Sauce for her sliders. However, we think you could definitely get creative with the type of teriyaki sauce you use in your burger. Maybe even kick things up a notch with a Japanese Barbecue Sauce like Bachan’s, with their fun new flavors like Sweet Honey, Miso, or Hella Hot.

Or you could even attempt to make your own teriyaki sauce at home. It only takes four simple ingredients (soy sauce, mirin, sake, and light-brown sugar), and you’ll have a jar of teriyaki sauce ready to go when it’s time to fire up the grill this summer. We have a feeling it will be especially good mixed in with these smash burgers!
