Method:

Form the Patties:
Divide the ground Wagyu beef into four equal portions and gently shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper. -
Cook the Patties:
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adding a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt. -
Prepare the Buns:
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown. -
Assemble the Burgers:
Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked Wagyu patty on top, followed by slices of avocado, tomato, red onion, and a handful of arugula. -
Finish and Serve:
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately, paired with your favorite sides.
