Mini Kobe Sliders

It's been a crazy week in our home!  We hosted our fourth annual Halloween party and I spent my week prepping miniature versions of some of our favorite foods.  I figured I would wait until I make the full size versions to post on here for you!

In the haste of the week, I didn't properly plan out enough dinners for the week so I made a quick trip over to the Market Basket in Franklin Lakes (a must try!) and picked up some Kobe ground beef.  This is typically a quick recipe to make but I wanted to try something different.  We had been gifted a salt block for cooking and I wanted to try cooking my sliders on it.  So this recipe does not require a salt block, you can do them in a nonstick frying pan.

1 lb of ground Kobe beef (make sure it is 100% Kobe not a mixture or you wont notice its distinct flavor)
1/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, slice into slider-sized squares
1/4 white or yellow onion, sliced
12 slider buns
1 Tbsp siracharacha sauce
4 Tbsp mayo

If you are using a salt block, start heating it on low heat now.  Every 5 minutes, raise the heat slightly, until it is on high.  This should take 15-20 minutes.  If you are using a frying pan, you do not have to put anything in the pan. 

 


Prep the sauce by combining the Sriracha sauce and mayo with a fork.  Once blended, set aside. 
Slightly toast the slider buns and set aside.

In a separate pan, start carmelizing the sliced onions.  Add 2 Tbsp of oil to the pan and get it very hot.  Sautee the onions, not stirring too frequently.  You want them the brown in color. 

  


Season the Kobe beef with some salt and pepper and then divide the meat up into 12 sliders



Next, place the burgers in the pan or on the salt block on high heat.  Cook them for about 4 minutes. 

 

Flip the burgers, lower the heat to slightly under medium and add a slice of cheese to the top of each


Once the cheese is fully melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired done-ness,  place them onto the cooked buns.  Top with the carmelized onions

 

Take the mayo-Sriracha mixture and add it to the top halves of the buns.


I think you can figure out the rest from here :)

 
YUM.
