Wagyu Beef Burger Ingredients
To make these mouthwatering burgers, you’ll need:
- Wagyu ground beef
- Cooked bacon slices (try our air fryer bacon recipe)
- Cheese slices (use your preferred cheese)
- Burger buns (choose your favorite rolls!)
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: tomato slices, lettuce, condiments
How to Grill Burgers
Follow these steps to achieve burger perfection:
- Preheat your grill to its highest temperature. Take each one-pound roll of wagyu ground beef and divide it into thirds, shaping them into flat patties with a diameter of about 5 inches. Press the middle of each patty slightly to prevent them from plumping up.
- Just before placing the patties on the grill, generously season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Arrange the patties evenly on the grill and close the lid. Let them cook for approximately 5 minutes, then flip them over. As soon as you flip them, add your cheese slices. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Place each patty on a bun, and top with 2-3 slices of bacon, as well as your preferred toppings. Now, it’s time to enjoy your scrumptious wagyu burger!
Wagyu Burgers Toppings
The beauty of a wagyu burger lies in the natural flavor of the wagyu beef, so it’s best not to overwhelm it with too many toppings. However, feel free to dress up your wagyu beef burger to your liking. You can use your favorite burger sauce or even experiment with different burger seasonings.

- Wagyu burgers are difficult to overcook, so as long as you keep an eye out for flare-ups on the grill, you’ll achieve burger perfection.
