Method

  1. Remove Wagyu patties from refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Preheat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice brioche buns in half and set aside.

  3. Cook the Wagyu patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing a beautiful crust to form.

  4. Flip patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired. If using cheese, add slices in the last minute of cooking.

  5. While patties rest, lightly butter the cut sides of brioche buns and toast them in the same pan until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

  6. Spread truffle mayo generously on both halves of each toasted bun.

  7. Layer the bottom bun with lettuce, tomato slice, the cooked Wagyu patty, and red onion.

  8. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately while hot.

Tips & variations

Don't Overwork the Meat

Handle Wagyu patties gently and avoid pressing down while cooking - this preserves the natural juices and tenderness that makes Wagyu so special.

Temperature Control

Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness - 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium. Wagyu is best enjoyed on the less-cooked side to appreciate its marbling.

Rest the Patties

Let the cooked patties rest for 2-3 minutes before assembling. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is perfectly juicy.

Mushroom Lover's Version

Add sautéed wild mushrooms (shiitake, portobello) with garlic and thyme. The earthy flavors complement both the Wagyu and truffle mayo beautifully.

Caramelized Onion Upgrade

Replace raw onion with slow-cooked caramelized onions. Cook sliced onions in butter for 25-30 minutes until golden and sweet - the perfect match for premium beef.
