Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Wagyu beef patty (80/20 blend, no added salt)
- 1 slice Low-sodium cheddar cheese slice
- 1 bun Whole wheat burger bun (no added salt)
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 2 slices Roma tomato
- 1 leaf Leaf lettuce
- 2 rings Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium mustard
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium mayonnaise
- 1 pinch Black pepper (optional, for seasoning)
- 1 pinch Garlic powder (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season one side of the Wagyu beef patty lightly with black pepper and garlic powder, if desired. Keep seasoning minimal to maintain the low-sodium profile.
Place the seasoned patty onto the preheated skillet, seasoned side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until a nice sear forms.
Flip the patty and place the low-sodium cheddar cheese slice on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the patty reaches your desired doneness (recommended: medium-rare to medium for Wagyu beef). Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
While the patty rests, gently toast the bun halves on the same skillet with 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread low-sodium mayonnaise on the bottom bun and low-sodium mustard on the top bun.
Assemble the burger: Start with the bottom bun, layer on the lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion rings, and finally the top bun.
Serve immediately, optionally paired with a side of low-sodium coleslaw or baked vegetables for a complete meal.
