INGREDIENTS

  • 4 slices thick-cut smokehouse bacon
  • 1 PERFORMANCE Wagyu beef pattie
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 slice Gruyere cheese
  • Butter
  • 1 artisan bun
  • 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced
  • 1 leaf butter lettuce
  • 2 dill pickle spears
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon smoky-style barbecue sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cook bacon in an oven or frying pan; crumble and set aside on a paper towel.
  2. Season frozen pattie evenly with salt and pepper and place it on a grill or flat top at 350 degrees F.
  3. Once the pattie begins to form juice pockets on the top (approximately 3 1/2 minutes), it’s ready to flip.
    • Do not press on the pattie, as it will release important juices and lead to a dry finished product.
    • While the pattie is still on the grill, top it with 1 slice of Gruyere cheese and allow it to soften.
  4. Spread bun with butter; toast it and then set it on a plate.
  5. Remove pattie with softened Gruyere from the grill and place it on the bottom bun. Top it with tomato, lettuce, crumbled bacon and 2 pickle spears.
  6. Spread mayonnaise, mustard and barbecue sauce on the top bun. Place it on top of the burger and secure it with a sandwich toothpick.
