Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Wagyu ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slice
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Red onion slices
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Dill pickle slices
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil (or neutral oil)
Instructions
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the Wagyu ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing to retain the beef's tenderness.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up as they cook.
Heat the avocado oil in the skillet. Once hot, place the patties into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them.
Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers by layering two romaine lettuce leaves as the "bun" base, followed by a cooked Wagyu beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, a dollop of mayonnaise, and a dill pickle slice. Top with two more romaine lettuce leaves to complete the lettuce-wrap burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Wagyu Cheeseburger!
