American style Kobe beef burgers combine the best of both worlds. It incorporates the delicious taste of Japanese Kobe beef into the American favorite aka a burger. Now what exactly makes Kobe beef so special in comparison to other kinds of beef? Well first of all, Kobe beef or wagyu beef is essentially beef that comes from the Wagyu cattle in Japan, more specifically the Kuroge Washu cattle. The Kuroge Washu cattle are incredibly unique because they have a unique genetic condition that marbles the fat inside the muscle tissue of the cow. This marbled beef has become known as Kobe beef and it produces a meat that is rich in flavor, tender, and juicier than the typical beef. The marbling of the meat allows for deep flavor and ensures optimal juiciness. American style Kobe beef burgers essentially take all of those wonderful qualities of Kobe beef that make it so different from normal beef and then grind the meat up so that they can be turned into American style burgers! Yet, it still retains all that wonderful deliciousness of the Kobe beef, making it taste way better than a traditional American beef burger. The American Style Kobe Beef Burgers typically have a ratio of about 70% lean to 30% fat, enabling the meat to be in the most perfect condition for a successful barbecue experience.

Not only is the taste of American style Kobe beef different, but the health benefits of Kobe beef are also what sets this beef apart from traditional beef altogether. Kobe beef can help with reducing cholesterol levels due to its high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids. In fact, studies have shown that Kobe beef's mono-unsaturated/saturated fat ratio was actually up to 300% higher in Wagyu beef. Many studies have actually reported that mono-unsaturated fats can actually be better for your heart than eating a diet that contains lean products. Kobe beef is known to have a high concentration of both omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 3 acids are associated with aiding in protection against heart disease, depression, arthritis, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, and more. Kobe beef is also associated with oleic acid which has a measurable effect on cholesterol metabolism within humans, therefore decreasing LDL (bad cholesterol) and increasing HDL (good cholesterol).

When it comes to grilling these bad boys up for the ultimate delicious, Kobe beef experience, it is recommended that you add the Kobe beef burgers to a preheated grill or grill pan. Make sure that you dip a brush with oil and brush the grates of your grill with the oil so that you can fully ensure that the meat does not stick to the grates. Once you add the Kobe beef burgers to the preheated grill, allow them to heat for about 3-6 minutes on one side or until the bottom of the patties have a distinct grill line. Then flip the burgers over and lower the grill pan heat to medium so that you can heat the burgers for an additional 3-5 minutes, making sure to flip them over again. Make sure to continuously flip them every 3 to 5 minutes while ensuring even cooking throughout. Place a thermometer in your Kobe beef burger and ensure that the temperature is at 150 degrees. Add the burgers to your buns. Dress it all up and serve!

What makes Kobe beef such a wonderful BBQ experience like no other is because they come from a unique kind of cattle who are genetically predisposed to produce fat within their muscle tissues that are perfect for cooking. It is this marbled taste that creates a wonderful opportunity for intense flavors, juiciness, and tenderness like no other. For that reason, American Kobe beef burgers are what you need this summer to try out a successful and unforgettable barbecue experience!
