Ingredients
For the Kobe Beef Patty:
- 500g Kobe beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio) Kobe beef is renowned for its marbling, which creates a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The 80/20 ratio ensures the patty will be juicy and flavorful, with the fat providing richness without overwhelming the palate. Form the patties carefully, as over-handling can affect the delicate structure of the beef.
- 1 small shallot, finely diced Shallots bring a mild, sweet onion flavor that complements the rich Kobe beef without overpowering it. Finely dicing the shallot ensures even distribution throughout the patty.
- 1 tbsp soy sauce A small amount of soy sauce enhances the umami flavor of the beef, creating a subtle but rich backdrop that intensifies the natural flavors of the Kobe beef.
- 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper Black pepper adds just the right amount of heat to balance the richness of the beef. The pepper’s slight bite pairs perfectly with the buttery texture of Kobe beef.
For the Toppings:
- 4 slices aged Gruyère cheese Gruyère has a nutty, slightly salty flavor that melts beautifully over the patty. Its sharpness contrasts with the rich beef, creating a perfectly balanced bite.
- Caramelized onions Slowly cooked onions develop a deep, sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with the savory beef. Their soft texture adds a layer of indulgence to the burger.
- Fresh arugula leaves Arugula provides a peppery bite and a fresh crunch that cuts through the richness of the patty and cheese. Its slight bitterness complements the beef's umami flavors.
- Truffle aioli A simple mix of mayonnaise and truffle oil, this aioli takes the burger to the next level with its earthy, luxurious taste. The truffle flavor amplifies the depth of the Kobe beef.
For the Brioche Buns:
- 4 brioche buns, lightly toasted Brioche buns are soft and slightly sweet, making them the perfect match for the rich Kobe beef. Toasting them adds a light crunch that holds up against the juicy patty and toppings.
Instructions
Prepare the Patty Mix:
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the Kobe beef, finely diced shallot, soy sauce, and black pepper. Handle the beef lightly to avoid overmixing, as this can make the patties tough. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and gently form each into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.
Cook the Patties:
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish, or adjust the time for your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Gruyère cheese on each patty, covering the grill or skillet briefly to let the cheese melt over the beef.
Caramelize the Onions:
- While the patties cook, heat a pan over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized—about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
Toast the Brioche Buns:
- Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a skillet until they’re golden brown. This step ensures the buns stay crisp against the juicy patty.
Assemble the Burger:
- Spread a generous layer of truffle aioli on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Place the cheesy Kobe beef patty on top, followed by a heap of caramelized onions and fresh arugula. Add the top bun, and your Kobe Beef Supreme is ready to be devoured!
