So, what’s the fuss about Wagyu beef? The fat in the beef is evenly dispersed in a marbled pattern and melts at a low temperature, so it has a uniquely rich and buttery texture that is unparalleled!
THE WAGYU BURGER
THE WAGYU BURGER
with Emmental cheese, bacon & chipotle mayo
Hands on Time: 20 - 30 minutes
Overall Time: 40 - 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- Beef
- Burger Bun
- Emmenthal Cheese
- Gherkins
- Lettuce Leaves
- Onion
- Plum Tomato
- Potato
- Streaky Bacon
- That Mayo Chipotle Mayo
- Wagyu Patty
POTATO WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the potato wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and cooked through, shifting halfway.
CARAMELISED ONION
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 6-8 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, add a sweetener of choice (to taste) so it caramelises further. Remove from the pan on completion, cover, and set aside to keep warm.
BACON & WAGYU
Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strip for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel. Drain any excess oil from the pan, leaving some for frying the patty. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the Wagyu burger patty for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. (This time frame will yield a medium-rare patty). Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for a few minutes before plating.
OPTIONAL EGG & CHEESY BUNS
[OPTIONAL STEP: place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Crack in 1 egg and fry until cooked through to your preference. We like the yolk runny and the white just set! Remove from the heat and season.] Butter both sides of the bun (optional). Place a slice or two of Emmental cheese on the bottom half of the burger bun. Just before serving, place both bun halves in the hot oven for 2 minutes until the cheese starts to melt and the bun is warmed through. Remove from the oven on completion.
ASSEMBLE!
Time to load up and indulge! Place the patty on top of the melted cheese and cover with the bacon strip. Layer with the green leaves, gherkins, and tomato slices. Top with a generous spoon of caramelised onion and a dollop of mayo. Pop the fried egg on top (optional) and close it all up with the other half of the warm bun. Serve the roast potato wedges on the side with some mayo for dipping. Scrumptious, Chef!
