Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion and tomato into thin slices. Rinse and dry the butter lettuce leaves. Set aside the house-made pickles.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Cooking the Wagyu Patty

  1. 3

    Season the Patty

    Season the Snake River Farms wagyu beef patty with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the wagyu patty and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty, add the black diamond sharp cheddar cheese on top, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches desired doneness.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Build the Burger

    On a plate, lay down the butter lettuce leaves. Place the cooked wagyu patty with melted cheddar on top. Add crispy bacon slices, followed by onion slices, tomato slices, and a generous amount of roasted garlic aioli. Top with house-made pickles. Serve immediately.
