Ingredients

• 4 patties (each 6 oz) Wagyu beef patties
• 4 pieces Whole grain buns
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 1 large (sliced) Avocado
• 1 small (sliced) Red onion
• 1 large (sliced) Tomato
• 4 large leaves Lettuce
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp Mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Season the Wagyu beef patties evenly with this mixture.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil on the grill or skillet. When hot, place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.

Step 4

About 2 minutes before the patties finish cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 5

Lightly toast the whole grain buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and mustard to create a high-protein sauce.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: spread the yogurt-mustard sauce on the bottom bun, layer with lettuce, a Wagyu patty, sliced tomato, avocado, red onion rings, and cover with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of side.
