• 4 brioche buns
• 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)

• Toppings: Lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, pickles, truffle aioli (optional)

Directions

1. Form the Patties: Gently shape the ground Wagyu beef into 4 loose patties, about ¾ inch thick. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it tender.
2. Season the Patties: Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce on both sides.
3. Cook the Burgers:
4. Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
5. Pan-sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once.
6. Melt the Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
7. Toast the Buns: Butter the brioche buns and toast them on the grill or pan for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
8. Assemble & Serve: Place the Wagyu patties on the toasted buns, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
