  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Toppings such as melted cheese fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, or crispy bacon

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Knife and chopping board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small bowls for seasoning and preparation

Method
 

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. If you’re using any additional toppings like cheese, lettuce, or tomatoes, get them ready.
  2. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Let it heat for a minute until it shimmers.
  3. Cook the Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they become soft and translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the Ground Wagyu Beef: Add the ground wagyu beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Stir occasionally, allowing the beef to brown evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and browned.
  5. Season the Beef: Once the beef is cooked through, add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the seasonings to soak into the meat.
  6. Serve: At this point, your ground wagyu beef is ready to be served. You can top it with your favorite toppings, such as melted cheese for a burger, or pile it into tacos, pasta, or a salad.

Notes

Wagyu Beef Fat Content: If you’re concerned about excess fat, you can drain off some of the fat after cooking, though wagyu’s marbling is what gives it its signature flavor and tenderness.
Customization: Feel free to experiment with other seasonings such as chili powder, cumin, or fresh herbs like basil or oregano, depending on your desired flavor profile.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to maintain the beef’s moisture.
Toppings: This dish is versatile and pairs beautifully with many toppings. Try adding sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or even a fried egg for extra richness.
Freezing: If you have leftovers, you can freeze the cooked ground wagyu beef in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as needed.
