🥩 Wagyu Steak Burger Recipe
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Patties

1 lb (450g) ground Wagyu beef (preferably 80/20 fat ratio)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder or finely minced shallot

For the Burger Build

2 brioche buns (or other soft, high-quality buns)

2 slices of sharp cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese

1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

Butter (for toasting buns)

Lettuce or arugula

Tomato slices

Pickles (optional)

Sauce Ideas (choose one or mix)

Truffle mayo (mayo + truffle oil)

Garlic aioli

Dijon mustard & ketchup

Steak sauce (e.g., A1 or chimichurri)

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Form the Patties

Divide the Wagyu beef into two equal balls (about 1/2 lb each).

Gently shape into patties without over-handling. Keep them about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.

Press a small dimple in the center of each to help them cook evenly.

💡 Don't over-season Wagyu — let the meat shine. Just salt and pepper is enough.

Step 2: Cook the Patties
Pan-Seared (Recommended for Control)

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.

Add a bit of oil or brush patties lightly with oil.

Sear the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once.

Add cheese in the last minute and cover with a lid to melt.

Grilled

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Grill patties for 3–4 minutes per side with lid closed.

Step 3: Toast the Buns

Spread a thin layer of butter inside each bun half.

Toast in a pan or on the grill until golden brown.

Step 4: Assemble the Burger

Bottom bun

Sauce of choice

Lettuce and tomato

Wagyu patty with melted cheese

Sliced onion and pickles (if using)

Additional sauce or mustard

Top bun

🍟 Serving Suggestions

Truffle fries or rosemary garlic fries

Sweet potato chips

Craft beer or red wine (like Cabernet or Syrah)

🧂 Tips for Success

Keep the beef cold until cooking for best sear.

Don’t press the patties while cooking — preserve juices.

Use high heat for a perfect crust.

Rest the burgers for 2–3 minutes before assembling.

🥩 Skirt Steak Recipe (Grilled or Pan-Seared)
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

1–1.5 lbs (450–700g) skirt steak

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Optional marinade:

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp lime juice

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tsp cumin or smoked paprika

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Steak

Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels.

Trim any excess silver skin or large pieces of fat.

Optional: Marinate for 1–4 hours for enhanced flavor.

💡 Skirt steak is thin, so even 30 minutes of marinating helps!

Step 2: Cook the Steak
Option 1: Grill

Preheat grill to high (450–500°F / 230–260°C).

Lightly oil the grates or steak.

Grill steak for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Remove and let rest for 5–10 minutes.

Option 2: Pan-Sear

Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.

Add a drizzle of oil.

Sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side, without moving it around too much.

Rest for 5–10 minutes.

Step 3: Slice Properly

Always slice skirt steak against the grain into thin strips.

This makes the meat more tender and easier to chew.

🥗 Serving Suggestions
🔥 Classic Pairings

Chimichurri sauce

Grilled vegetables (peppers, onions, corn)

Roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes

Warm tortillas and salsa (for tacos)

🥪 For Leftovers

Steak sandwiches

Steak salad with arugula and balsamic

🧂 Tips for Success

Don’t overcook: Skirt steak gets tough if cooked beyond medium.

Let it rest before slicing.

Use high heat for a great crust and char.
