Ingredients
- 1 lb Wagyu ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slice
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Red onion slices
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Dill pickle slices
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil (or neutral oil)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the Wagyu ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing to retain the beef's tenderness.
Step 3
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up as they cook.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in the skillet. Once hot, place the patties into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them.
Step 5
Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.
Step 6
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by layering two romaine lettuce leaves as the "bun" base, followed by a cooked Wagyu beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, a dollop of mayonnaise, and a dill pickle slice. Top with two more romaine lettuce leaves to complete the lettuce-wrap burger.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Wagyu Cheeseburger!
