Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Wagyu ground beef: The star of the dish known for its rich marbling and unbeatable tenderness.
  • 1 small onion finely chopped: Adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced: For that aromatic, savory punch.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil: For sautéing the onions and garlic adding extra richness.
  • 1 teaspoon salt: To enhance the natural flavor of the beef.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper: To balance the richness with a hint of spice.
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika: Gives the dish a slight smokiness.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce: A secret ingredient that adds a savory umami kick.
  • Optional toppings: Fresh herbs like parsley chives, or a sprinkle of cheese for extra flair.

Instructions
 

  • Heat your skillet: Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the pan, letting it warm up until it’s shimmering.
  • Sauté onions and garlic: Add the chopped onions to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until they soften. Next, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds—just long enough for the garlic to release its wonderful aroma.
  • Brown the Wagyu beef: Once the onions and garlic are softened, add the Wagyu ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart, ensuring it cooks evenly. Let it brown for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s cooked through and fully browned.
  • Season the beef: After the beef is cooked, season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to evenly coat the meat with the seasonings. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra umami goodness and cook for an additional minute.
  • Taste and adjust: Give the beef a taste—if you’d like a bit more seasoning, feel free to add a pinch of salt or a dash of black pepper.
  • Serve: Once the meat is perfectly seasoned, remove it from the heat and prepare it for serving.
