Ingredients
  

For the Patty:

  • 1 500g ground Kobe beef (70/30 lean-to-fat ratio) Kobe beef is renowned for its marbling and tenderness. The higher fat content keeps the patty juicy and imparts a buttery flavor as it cooks.
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped Onions add moisture and a mild sweetness that complements the richness of the beef.
  • 1 garlic clove, minced Garlic adds depth to the flavor profile, making the burger more aromatic and savory.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Worcestershire sauce delivers umami and a subtle tang, enhancing the beef's natural flavors.
  • 1 egg The egg binds the patty together, ensuring it holds its shape during cooking.
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs provide lightness to the patty, making it less dense and more enjoyable.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Seasoning brings out the natural flavors of the beef and helps balance the richness of the other ingredients.

For the Toppings:

  • 4 slices Gruyère cheese Gruyère adds a creamy, nutty note that complements the Kobe beef perfectly.
  • Caramelized onions These sweet, golden onions enhance the depth of flavor with a slightly smoky undertone.
  • Sliced avocado Creamy avocado balances the richness of the patty with its smooth texture.
  • Arugula leaves Peppery arugula brings a fresh contrast, cutting through the heaviness of the meat.
  • Truffle aioli This aioli adds an indulgent, earthy note that ties all the components together.

For the Buns:

  • 4 Brioche buns (toasted) Soft and slightly sweet, brioche buns are the ideal base to soak up all the juicy flavors without falling apart.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Patty Mix:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Kobe beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, egg, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until everything is well incorporated, but be careful not to overwork the meat to keep the patties tender.

Shape the Patties:

  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cook the Patties:

  • Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your preferred doneness. During the last minute, place a slice of Gruyère cheese on each patty and cover the grill or pan to allow the cheese to melt perfectly.

Toast the Buns:

  • While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns until golden and slightly crisp. This step adds texture and ensures the buns can hold up to the juicy patty and toppings.

Assemble the Burger:

  • Spread a generous layer of truffle aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cheesy patty on top, followed by caramelized onions, sliced avocado, and arugula. Add the top bun, and your Kobe Royale is ready to serve.
