1
Place 4 pineapple rings in a large heat-proof glass or stainless-steel bowl. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, honey, coriander seed, peppercorns, olive oil, mustard, and ginger. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture over the pineapple, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
2
Combine the harissa, mayonnaise, and lime zest and juice in a small bowl and set aside.
3
Prepare the grill for cooking or heat a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the pineapple from the marinade and grill for 2 minutes per side.
4
Season the beef with salt and pepper and form into 4 burgers. Grill the burgers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, about 5 minutes total for rare or 6 minutes for medium-rare.
5
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Lightly brush the cut side of the buns with butter and grill for 1 or 2 minutes. Spread the harissa mayonnaise on the grilled buns.
6
In a nonstick pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Break each egg into a small bowl and add it to the pan. Gently fry the eggs until the whites are set (sunny-side up), taking care not to break the yolk.
7
Place a burger on the bun and top each burger with a pickled beet slice, grilled pineapple slice, and sunny-side-up egg.
