Build Your Own Wagyu Burger (pink Or No-pink) Recipe

BREAKFAST FAVORITES

1. 1

   Patty selection and seasoning

   Decide whether to use Wagyu beef patties or plant-based burger patties. You will use one patty type per Burger; two patties per serving. If using Wagyu patties, lightly season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Cook Wagyu beef patties

   Heat a skillet over medium-high with a thin coating of olive oil. Sear Wagyu patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for pink (medium-rare) or 4-5 minutes per side for no-pink (well-done). Rest patties 2 minutes before assembly.

3. 3

   Cook plant-based patties

   If using plant-based patties, cook in a lightly oiled skillet according to package directions, typically 3-4 minutes per side until browned and heated through. Rest 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Toast buns with butter

   Split buns and brush cut surfaces with butter. Toast in the same skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes.

5. 5

   Melt cheese on patties (optional)

   If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover briefly to melt.

6. 6

   Prepare toppings

   Wash lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Slice tomato into 4 slices and red onion into 4 slices. Slice pickles into 6 slices.

7. 7

   Arrange condiments

   Set out ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. You can mix or layer condiments on the buns to taste.

8. 8

   Cook bacon (optional)

   If using bacon, cook in a skillet until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat.

9. 9

   Fry eggs (optional)

   If adding eggs, cook eggs to your preferred doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy works well with the burger).

10. 10

    Assemble the burger

    Spread condiments on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Place the chosen patty (Wagyu or plant-based) on top. Add cheese if melted, then bacon or avocado if using. Top with the other bun and serve immediately.

    Final serving notes
