Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Wagyu ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces Gluten-free hamburger buns
- 4 slices Sliced cheddar cheese (or any gluten-free cheese of choice)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 8 slices Pickles
- 4 tbsp Gluten-free mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp Gluten-free ketchup
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the Wagyu ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four even portions and shape each into a patty about ¾-inch thick. Be careful not to overwork the meat to maintain its tenderness.
Butter the insides of the gluten-free buns lightly with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter (set aside the other tablespoon for grilling).
Place the patties on the preheated grill or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until nicely browned. Flip the patties and place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
While the patties rest, toast the buttered sides of the gluten-free buns on the grill or a skillet until golden and slightly crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of gluten-free mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, and two pickle slices. Add the cheesy Wagyu patty on top, then drizzle 1 tablespoon of gluten-free ketchup over the patty. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite gluten-free sides and enjoy!
