Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Make the Wagyu Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the wagyu beef, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix using your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patty

    Form the meat mixture into a single, thick patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the patty on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and place the slice of sharp white American cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the butter lettuce leaves. Add the cooked wagyu patty with melted cheese, followed by the onion rings, house pickle slices, and drizzle with baaahd sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
