Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Wagyu Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the Wagyu beef patties with salt and pepper. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Burger Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.

Topping Preparation

  1. 3

    Grill the Onions

    Slice the medium onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Prepare Tomato and Lettuce

    Slice the tomato into even rounds. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato. Add the cooked Wagyu patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the grilled onions. Spread 2 tablespoons of spicy aioli on the top half of the bun, then place it on top of the assembled burger.

Serve
