Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 700 g wagyu beef mince
  • Salt
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 4 slices mature cheddar optional
  • 4 brioche buns split
  • 25 g unsalted butter softened
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise

Method
 

  1. Shape mince into 4 loose patties.
  2. Season with salt just before cooking.
  3. Heat pan with minimal oil.
  4. Sear 2–3 minutes, flip, cook 2 minutes more.
  5. Add cheese in final minute, if using.
  6. Toast buttered buns.
  7. Build with mayonnaise, lettuce, patty and tomato.

Notes

Handle the mince minimally, as wagyu is already naturally tender.
Season with just salt to let the beef's flavour lead.
Raw patties freeze well for up to 3 months.
Keep toppings simple so they don't overwhelm the beef.
