Ingredients

1 pound ground wagyu beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 brioche buns

Instructions

Divide the ground wagyu into four patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. Make an indentation in the center of each patty to cook more evenly.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and grease the grates. Alternatively, place a large, cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, place the burger patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness (130-135F for medium rare, or up to 165F for well done).
Remove the wagyu beef patties from the heat and let them rest. While they rest, toast the brioche buns for 30 seconds in a skillet or on the grill.
Assemble the beef patties into burgers. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.

Notes

For my recipe, I used Big Mac sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sauteed mushrooms.

Cooking time. Wagyu burgers are best enjoyed medium-rare (130- 135°F). Use a meat thermometer to double check, and if you prefer them medium, aim for 145°F anf 160°F for well done.
Even thickness. Ensure each patty has an even thickness. I recommend 1-inch for the perfect balance of thick and juicy.
Storage. Place the leftover cooked burgers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
