Wagyu Sambal-Chilli Mayo Burger

A quick and flavourful twist on a classic burger — juicy Wagyu beef patty paired with a spicy, tangy sambal-chilli mayo.

Ingredients

For the Burger (per serving)

• 1 × Wagyu Beef Burger Patty (150 g) — rich marbling, tender bite 

• Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 tsp sambal oelek (adjust to spice preference)

• 1 fresh red chilli, thinly sliced

• ½ tsp rice vinegar (or white vinegar)

• 1 soft burger bun, lightly toasted

• 1 leaf iceberg lettuce

• 1 slice ripe tomato

Instructions

1. Make the Sambal-Chilli Mayo
   In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sambal, sliced chilli, and vinegar until smooth. Taste and adjust spice or tang to your liking.

2. Cook the Wagyu Patty
   Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Season the Wagyu patty with salt and pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes per side, or until preferred doneness. Its marbling ensures a juicy, flavourful bite.

3. Assemble the Burger

   • Spread sambal-chilli mayo generously on the toasted bottom bun.

   • Add lettuce and tomato slices.

   • Place the cooked Wagyu patty on top.

   • Finish with more sambal-chilli mayo and close with the top bun.

4. Serve Immediately
   Enjoy while hot and juicy. The sambal-chilli mayo adds creamy heat with a refreshing tang, balancing the richness of Wagyu.

Tips & Pairings

• Swap rice vinegar with calamansi or lime juice for a citrusy kick.

• Pair with sweet potato fries, achar (pickled vegetables), or a light salad for a balanced meal.

• For extra indulgence, melt a slice of cheddar or gouda on the patty before assembling.
