Luxe Royale Burger Recipe
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Wagyu Ground Beef (to make four 10 oz patties)
- 4 slices Dubliner Cheese
- 2 Large Onions thinly sliced
- 4 oz Foie Gras (for spreading)
- 4 Hamburger Buns
- Butter For caramelizing onions and toasting buns
- Salt and Pepper To taste
- Oil For grilling
Instructions
Caramelize Onions:
- In a skillet, melt butter over low heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions, season with a pinch of salt, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and sweet. This may take 30-40 minutes. Set aside.
Prepare Wagyu Beef Patties:
- Divide the Wagyu beef into four 10 oz portions.
- Gently form each into a patty, careful not to overwork the meat.
- Season both sides of each patty with salt and Pepper.
Preheat Grill or Skillet:
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.
Cook Wagyu Patties:
- Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting the time based on your preference.
- A minute before the patties are done, place a slice of Dubliner cheese on each to melt.
Prepare Foie Gras Spread:
- Bring the foie gras to room temperature.
- Mash or blend it until it’s spreadable. You can mix it with a little butter for a smoother consistency if desired.
Prepare Buns:
- Butter the insides of the hamburger buns.
- Toast them on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.
Assemble Burgers:
- Spread a generous amount of foie gras on the bottom buns.
- Place the cheese-topped Wagyu beef patty on top.
- Add a heap of caramelized onions.
- Cap with the top bun.
Serve:
- Serve the Luxe Royale Burgers immediately, ideally with a simple side like truffle fries or a light salad to balance the richness.

Luxe Royale Burger FAQs
The questions that come up most: how to cook the wagyu patty, what makes wagyu different, caramelizing the onions, and swapping out the foie gras.
How do you cook a wagyu patty?
Wagyu is richly marbled, so cook it over medium-high heat and do not press it; let the fat render into a crust. Cook ground beef to a safe internal 160°F, per the USDA.
What makes wagyu different?
Wagyu beef is heavily marbled with intramuscular fat, which melts as it cooks and gives the patty a rich, buttery texture that leaner beef cannot match.
How do you caramelize the onions?
Cook thinly sliced onions low and slow in butter, stirring now and then, for 30 to 40 minutes until deep golden and sweet.
Can you make it without foie gras?
Yes. Skip the foie gras or spread on a little pâté or a rich compound butter instead; the wagyu and caramelized onions still carry it.
