Arby’s is entering the burger business with the launch of an all-new steakhouse burger.
The limited-edition Wagyu Steakhouse Burger is a first for the Atlanta-based sandwich chain and will be available at participating restaurants nationwide starting May 23, the company announced.
The new menu offering features a blend of American Wagyu and ground beef cooked sous vide style to give the burger “a crispy outer edge and slightly pink center,” according to a product description. The sandwich boasts the “largest single patty” compared to other quick-serve restaurants, according to Arby’s, weighing 6.4 ounces before it hits the grill.
“Boring Burgers are a fast-food staple, so Arby’s felt compelled to raise the bar with a Wagyu Steakhouse Burger,” Patrick Schwing, Chief Marketing Officer of Arby’s, said in a statement. “As the meat experts, we’ve spent over two years of dedicated research and development to deliver a premium burger that redefines what’s possible from a drive thru.”
The beef patty is topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion and a special sauce on a toasted brioche bun, according to a news release. Fans in search of even more flavor can add their choice of bacon or ranch.
The Wagyu Steakhouse Burger is available through July 31 starting at $5.99.
