Introduction

The Wagyu burgers are made from pure Wagyu steak meat blended with Heritage breed beef and simply seasoned. The recipe below is a fusion of east and west cuisines, there's a lot of prep involved but the results are great, alternatively go more traditional and simply place the grilled burger in a toasted brioche bun, topped with melted cheese, F&Co Tomato ketchup, a little shredded lettuce and the all important F&Co burger relish.

Method

In a saucepan bring all Teriyaki ingredients to a simmer except the oil and corn flour, once sugar has dissolved whisk in corn flour mix then take off heat and stir in the sesame oil.

Take a heavy based frying pan, or BBQ set for direct grilling and over a high heat fry the burgers basting with the fat that's released once nicely coloured for 5 to 6 minutes until thoroughly cooked
Fry the eggs over a medium heat in melted butter until just set
Reheat the Hirata/Bao buns then spoon onto the base a little Teriyaki sauce then top with a little shredded cabbage then the burger, place the egg on top, sprinkle with Furikake then top with bun and serve straight away.
