Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

First, prepare the House-Made Pickles: In a saucepan, combine White Vinegar, Water, Sugar, Dill Seed, and Salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Place thinly sliced English Cucumbers in a jar and pour the hot brine over them. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a bowl, gently combine all Burger Patties ingredients. Form into 4 patties, being careful not to overwork the Wagyu beef.
In a small bowl, whisk together all Peanut Butter Sauce ingredients until smooth.
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill over high heat.
Sear patties for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time to desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, spread a generous amount of Peanut Butter Sauce on top of each patty.
Place patties on toasted Potato Buns, top with House-Made Pickles and Arugula. Serve immediately.
