Ingredients

Wagyu Burger Patties

1 lb Wagyu ground beef Use high-quality Wagyu for best flavor
1 tsp salt Use lightly to enhance natural flavors
1/2 tsp black pepper Freshly ground for added taste
1 tsp garlic powder Optional for additional depth of flavor
1 tbsp olive oil For cooking the patties
4 brioche buns Soft and slightly sweet, pairs well with Wagyu

Toppings

4 slices cheddar cheese Aged cheddar complements the richness
1 cup caramelized onions For a sweet, savory balance
4 leaves lettuce Adds freshness and crunch

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, gently combine Wagyu ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, pressing lightly to form a uniform shape.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred. Avoid overcooking to retain the Wagyu’s signature juiciness.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt slightly.
Toast the brioche buns lightly and assemble the burgers with lettuce, caramelized onions, and the Wagyu patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy a rich, gourmet Wagyu burger!

Notes

Wagyu ground beef is best cooked at lower temperatures due to its high-fat content. Avoid excessive seasoning, as its natural marbling provides exceptional flavor. This recipe can also be used for meatballs, tacos, and other gourmet dishes.
