The addition of fats such as butter or olive oil will only mask the unique beefy flavour of your wagyu burgers. Lightly salt the burger 5 minutes before cooking to bring out a film of moisture which helps in the creation of a savoury crust on the burger. Ideally use a cast iron skillet or griddle or BBQ grill. Sear on each side for 2 minutes before lowering the heat and cooking to your liking. Allow to reast for at least 5 minutes on a warm plate. Each burger should be thoroughly cooked through.
