Wagyu Burger Ingredients

Method

Wagyu Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    Season the American Wagyu patty with salt and pepper. Form it into a round shape if needed.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
