🍔 Pepperoni Pizza Burger Recipe
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Beef Patties

300g ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Toppings

12–16 slices of pepperoni

Step 1: Make the Beef Patties

Gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.

Divide into two equal portions and shape into patties slightly wider than the bun (they shrink when cooked).

Press a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.

Step 2: Cook the Patties

Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.

Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.

In the last minute of cooking, spoon 1–2 tbsp marinara sauce onto each patty and top with shredded mozzarella.

Cover with a lid briefly to melt the cheese.

Step 3: Crisp the Pepperoni

In a separate pan, lightly fry the pepperoni slices until just crispy (1–2 minutes).

Drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Toast the Buns

Butter the insides of the buns.

Toast face-down in a skillet until golden.

Step 5: Assemble the Burger

🥩 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

Lettuce or arugula

Tomato slices

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.

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.
