As simple as they are delicious, these diner-style burgers elevated with Wagyu beef are sure to be a smash hit.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 pounds Mishima Reserve American Wagyu Ground Beef
- 2 medium yellow onions, sliced very thin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 slices American cheese
- 4 potato buns
- 8 dill pickle spears, for serving
Preparation
Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Mix mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup to make the smash sauce, then set aside.
Separate ground beef into 8 equal balls, then place onto cooking surface. Divide onions into 8 equal piles and place onto each ball of ground beef. Using a metal spatula, smash each ball of ground beef and onions into flat patties then season with kosher salt.
Once the patties have started to brown around the edges, about 2 minutes, flip each patty and top with 1 slice of cheese.
Spread a heaping tablespoon of smash sauce on each of the top buns, then place on the patties to steam. Place the bottom buns on top of the top buns to steam, as well.
After the cheese is melted and the buns are warm, about 2 minutes, stack 2 patties on each bottom bun, top with top bun and serve immediately with pickles.
