Wagyu Ground Beef Burger Recipe

Elevate your burger night with this juicy Wagyu ground beef burger. Rich in flavor and incredibly tender, Wagyu beef takes this classic dish to gourmet levels with minimal ingredients. Perfect for grilling or stovetop cooking.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Wagyu ground beef (80/20 preferred)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

• Optional toppings: sliced cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, or aioli
• Optional: 1 tbsp butter for toasting buns

Directions

1. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently shape into patties. Avoid over-handling to keep them tender. Press a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on both sides of the patties.
3. Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high and cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
4. Stovetop: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook patties 3–4 minutes per side.
5. Spread butter on the buns and toast for 1–2 minutes until golden.
6. Add your favorite toppings and serve hot.
