Ingredients

  • 1 lb Wagyu Ground Beef
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
  • 3 Hamburger Buns

Toppings

  • 6 slices American Cheese

Instructions

  • Divide ground beef into equal portions and flatten into patties. I recommend making three patties for every pound of ground beef. Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.

To cook on the stove:

  • Preheat a heavy bottomed fry pan/skillet (like a cast iron) with 1 teaspoon of oil. (Use an oil with a high smoke point like vegetable oil).
    1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

  • Place patties on the pan and sear both sides, then flip the patties every 30 seconds or so until an internal temperature of 130°F is reached for medium rare.

To grill:

  • Preheat your grill for at least 5 minutes then clean and oil the grilling grate. (I use a gas grill so if you have a charcoal one adjust accordingly.)
  • Place patties on grill on, cover and cook for about 2 minutes- you want nice grill marks. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Then and allow to continue to cook until the internal temperature reads 130°F is reached for medium rare.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • *The oil will be very hot and will splatter some if you cook the burgers on the stove. Be careful not to burn yourself!
  • Spread some mayo on your burns then toast them under the broiler until golden for added flavor.
