Beef Patty

Melted Cheese

Sourdough Bread

Optional Toppings

Method

Prepare the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Shape the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Wagyu beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the Wagyu patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar and Swiss cheese on top of each patty to melt.

Prepare the Sourdough Bread

  1. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 4

    Grill the Bread

    In the same skillet or grill used for the patties, place the slices of bread butter-side down. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Patty Melt

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Place one grilled slice of sourdough bread on a plate, add the cooked Wagyu patty with melted cheese on top, and then layer with caramelized onions and pickles if desired. Top with another slice of grilled sourdough bread.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Cut the patty melt in half and serve immediately while hot.
