Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 patties (each 6 oz) Wagyu beef patties
- 4 pieces Whole grain buns
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 large (sliced) Avocado
- 1 small (sliced) Red onion
- 1 large (sliced) Tomato
- 4 large leaves Lettuce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Season the Wagyu beef patties evenly with this mixture.
Drizzle olive oil on the grill or skillet. When hot, place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.
About 2 minutes before the patties finish cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Lightly toast the whole grain buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and mustard to create a high-protein sauce.
Assemble the burgers: spread the yogurt-mustard sauce on the bottom bun, layer with lettuce, a Wagyu patty, sliced tomato, avocado, red onion rings, and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of side.
