Preparation

Allow the frozen Wagyu patties to thaw in the refrigerator for about 3-4 hours. Allow the patties to come to room temperature before frying.
Heat a pan to high heat. Fry the Wagyu patties on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they have a nice crust. Season with a little salt and pepper. While frying, the Wagyu beef loses some of its fat, which remains in the pan. After frying, remove the patties and let them rest for 5 minutes while you use the aromatic fat in the pan to caramelize the onions.
Peel the yellow onions, halve them and cut them into thin rings.
Add the onions to the pan with the Wagyu fat and fry them over medium heat. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar, season with salt and braise for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft. For a special kick, you can deglaze the onions with a splash of beer and fry briefly until the liquid has evaporated.
Halve the brioche burger buns and toast them cut side down in a pan or on the grill until golden brown and crispy.
On the bottom part of the toasted buns, first put a layer of ketchup, then a leaf of romaine lettuce.
Place the Wagyu patty on top. Then place the onions caramelized in the Wagyu fat on the patty. Finish with a dollop of mayonnaise and place the top part of the bun on top.

Tip: For an extra tasty cheeseburger, simply place a slice of cheddar cheese on the patty after it has been fried. The cheese melts beautifully and gives the burger a creamy note that harmonizes perfectly with the caramelized onions.
