Wagyu Steakburger: What Makes This Luxurious Beef So Special?
Burgers can be a classic comfort dish or an experience in indulgence. The choice of beef used in a burger is one way to enhance its overall luxury. In addition to selections such as the Prime Rib Steakburger at the Freddy’s near you, Wagyu steakburgers are known for their superiority. Here, learn more about Wagyu beef and other decadent steakburgers.
What is a Wagyu Steakburger?
In general, the quality of the beef often distinguishes a steakburger from a typical hamburger, and these choice cuts often include a greater ratio of fat. The use of Wagyu beef for a steakburger is perhaps the most luxurious realization of a steakburger’s potential. As explained by the American Wagyu Association, Wagyu refers to a Japanese beef cattle breed. Beef from these animals is known for its greater leveling of marbling, which contributes to its depth of flavor and tenderness. The superior quality of this beef is the result of the special care and environmental considerations required to raise this type of cattle as well as the transparency with which it is done, as further explained at The Wagyu Shop. As noted at Grand Western Steaks, raising one Wagyu cow can cost up to $30,000 – a cost that is about 10 times more than the average beef cow.
Why are Wagyu Steakburgers so Appealing?
According to Datassential, Americans enjoy approximately three burgers a month from restaurants, not to mention those that they may eat at home. In addition to steakburgers from fast food restaurants like Freddy’s, a significant number of diners also choose this dish at fine dining restaurants. Similarly, Wagyu steakburgers can be an elevated option for homemade burgers or for that special dinner at an upscale restaurant. In addition to their reputation for incredible flavor and rich texture, here are 3 more reasons that diners may be so eager to try Wagyu steakburgers:
1. Indulgence: According to QSR Magazine, indulgence is one of the top dining trends of the year. In the burger realm, a Wagyu steakburger fulfills this desire.
