In this episode of Meat America, we head to Wichita, Kansas to cook-up wagyu burgers at Dempsey’s Burger Pub with proprietor Sebastian Gordon. We also hear directly from the rancher himself on why Wagyu makes amazing meat for building your next burger. 

Dempsey’s Wagyu Burger

1. Begin with quality meat; use either black angus or wagyu ground beef
2. Use beef with an 80%/20% ratio of lean meat to fat
3. Make an indent in the center of the patty to ensure an evenly shaped burger
4. Season the burger with salt and pepper
5. Cook on a flat top at 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
6. Once, heated, add olive oil to the cooking surface and throw the burger down
7. Flip the burger only once to ensure even cook on both sides
8. Use high quality ingredients and different textures to wrap up your burger

Tops from Sebastian Gordon

• Don’t press while cooking!
• Pressing down on the burger while cooking will squeeze out the fat from inside of the burger – keeping the fat in keeps it flavorful and juicy!
