What is a wagyu burger?

A Wagyu burger is a burger made with ground Wagyu beef. Wagyu beef is known for its intense marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor. This high fat content results in a burger that is incredibly juicy and flavorful, often described as having a buttery texture. Wagyu burgers are typically more expensive than regular beef burgers due to the higher cost of Wagyu beef. Due to the high fat content, wagyu burgers require care during cooking to avoid flare-ups and ensure even cooking. Many chefs recommend cooking them to medium or medium-rare to preserve their tenderness and flavor. Some prefer a simpler approach to seasoning to let the quality of the beef speak for itself. Wagyu burgers can be found in high-end restaurants and specialty burger joints.
