Instructions
Prepare the Patties:
- In a bowl, gently mix the Wagyu beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Avoid overmixing.
- Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into 1-inch thick patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
Cook the Patties:
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 5-6 minutes per side for medium-well.
- In the last minute, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and cover to melt.
Toast the Buns:
- Lightly toast the brioche buns on the skillet or grill for about 30 seconds.
Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom bun.
- Layer with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the cooked patty.
- Add optional toppings like caramelized onions or truffle aioli.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
