Burger Patties

Method

Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the patties

    Divide the wagyu beef into two equal portions, about 8 ounces each, and shape them loosely into balls.

  2. 2

    Season the patties

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the patties.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the skillet

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot.

  2. 4

    Smash the patties

    Place the beef balls on the skillet, and using a spatula, smash each ball down firmly to create a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving them.

  3. 5

    Add cheese

    Flip the patties and immediately place two slices of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the buns

    Toast the seeded burger buns on the skillet for about 1 minute until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the shaved lettuce, sweet onions (sliced thin), and B&B pickles. Place two cheese-topped patties on top, and drizzle with Kewpie sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

Cooking the Fries

  1. 8

    Prepare the oil

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 9

    Fry the fries

    Carefully add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 10

    Season the fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately while still hot.
