    Best Wagyu Burgers Recipe

    If you know me, you know by now how much I love a good burger recipe. Gourmet burgers are my specialty, and there is nothing I enjoy more than cooking them out on my grill!

    Of all the gourmet burgers I've tried, this recipe for wagyu cheeseburgers is the most irresistible. The beef is so tender and juicy on the inside, with that perfect crispness from the grill on the outside. Topped with classic burger toppings, there is nothing like this recipe!

    I guarantee you are going to want to use wagyu beef for your burgers after trying this recipe just once - and you will surely be asked for them again and again!

    Wagyu Burgers FAQs

    What is the best way to cook Wagyu hamburger?

    The best way to cook a wagyu hamburger is on the grill. Grilling burgers brings out the best flavor of the beef, and with a wagyu burger, you will not believe how tasty the results are!

    What does a Wagyu burger taste like?

    Wagyu beef is very juicy, with a strong beefy flavor and earthy sweetness. It is rich, buttery, and creates a burger experience unlike any other. You will hardly need any seasoning to create a delicious burger using wagyu beef.

    How long do I grill Wagyu burgers?

    Grill burgers over high heat for 5 minutes on one side, then 5 minutes on the other. For best results, allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. If you'd like burgers that are more well done, monitor the internal temperature following our beef temperature chart.

    Wagyu Burger Toppings

    The best part about a wagyu burger is the natural flavor of the wagyu beef, so you don't want to overload it with too many toppings.

    However, like any burger, you can dress up a wagyu beef burger however you like. I like to use my burger sauce and sometimes will add my favorite burger seasoning, too!

    How to Make Wagyu Burgers

    1. Get your grill as hot as it can get. Divide each one pound roll into thirds (⅓ pound burgers). Roll them in your hand and press them into flat patties, about 5 inches in diameter. Make sure the middle is pressed in a little more to prevent the burgers from plumping.
    2. Right before you put the burgers on the grill, salt them generously and then pepper them on both sides.

    3. Place them evenly on the grill and close the lid. Let them cook for 5 minutes and then flip. As soon as you flip them, add your cheese. Let them cook for another 4-5 minutes.

    5. Place a patty on its own bun, top with 2-3 slices of bacon, your other preferred toppings, and enjoy!

    Wagyu Burger Recipe Tips

    • Wagyu burgers are not easy to overcook. Just watch for flare ups on the grill and this recipe will give you the perfect burger.
    • Don’t be afraid to use other spices on your burger. Salt is the most important one. It is pretty hard to over salt a burger, so don’t be too shy with the salt.
    • It is very important that you do not play with the burgers. Just let them cook! The salt helps to add a nice crust to the burger, even though it may look black or charred. It is not burnt, it is just crispy!

    What to Serve with Burgers

    • Crispy Baked Potato Wedges
    • Air Fryer Frozen French Fries
    • Roasted Tomatoes
    • Air Fryer Mushrooms
    • Corn Riblets - serve with elote seasoning!
