Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Ground Wagyu beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 10 leaves Lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce or romaine)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 whole Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 2 tbsp Sugar-free mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Wagyu beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix to evenly distribute the seasoning, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and form into round burger patties, slightly larger than the buns or lettuce wraps.
Place the patties onto the hot skillet or grill pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time according to your desired doneness).
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
While the patties cook, prepare the toppings: slice the avocado and tomato, and separate the lettuce leaves for wrapping.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: lay 2-3 lettuce leaves per serving as a wrap base, place a cheesy Wagyu patty on top, and layer with avocado slices, tomato slices, and pickles.
Drizzle the burger with the prepared sauce and top with another lettuce leaf as a 'bun cap.'
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Wagyu beef burger!
