1. 1

   Caramelize Sherry Onions

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply caramelized and golden, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in the dry sherry and sugar; continue cooking until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze and the onions are soft and amber.

2. 2

   Season Wagyu Patties

   Divide the ground Wagyu into two equal portions. Gently form into patties slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with 1 tsp kosher salt and 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Create a shallow indentation in the center of each patty to prevent doming during cooking.

3. 3

   Toast Buns

   Split the hamburger buns and lightly toast the cut sides in a skillet or on a grill with a touch of butter until golden and crisp.

4. 4

   Cook Patties and Melt Cheese

   Cook patties in a hot skillet or on a grill for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Flip the patties, then place two slices of white cheddar on each patty and cook until the cheese melts and the patties reach your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Assemble Burgers

   Spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns. Layer lettuce and tomato on each bottom bun, add the cheese-topped Wagyu patties, then top with a generous heap of caramelized sherry onions. Cap with the top bun and serve immediately.
