Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground wagyu beef, bison, or chicken with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties, about 1/3 lb each.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the hot surface and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Brioche Buns

    In another skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread the house relish sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, the cooked patty, tomato slices, red onion rings, and house pickles on top. Finally, place the top half of the bun over the burger.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the classic burger hot with your favorite side dishes.
