Arby's is now selling a wagyu blended burger for a limited time at participating U.S. locations.

According to the fast food brand, it's the "burger you've been waiting for." The burger features American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, red onion, tomato and burger sauce on a brioche bun.

"There are too many bad burgers out there. That's why Arby's created this burger with wagyu beef, cooked medium-well with a hint of pink," stated the chain's website.

Arby's, which has 3,400 locations, is known for its roast beef. The burger will cost $5.99 and be available through July 31, according to a CNN report. The brand told CNN it is the "highest quality" burger the market has seen yet and it took two years to develop.

"Instead of focusing on making billions of mediocre burgers, we're taking a stance on high-quality meat that deserves to be cooked properly," Patrick Schwing, Arby's chief marketing officer, told CNN in a statement.
