Servings: 5
Ingredients
sliders
- 2 pounds kobe beef
- 2 teaspoon truffle spread
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- slider buns
Truffle Béarnaise
- ¼ cup white wine
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons shallot, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tarragon
- ½ teaspoon truffle spread
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 egg yolks
- 10 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Sliders
- Preheat grill or cast iron skillet to high heat.
- Add beef to a bowl and careful break apart with fingers.
- Sprinkle season and truffle spread over the beef trying to evenly distribute all over. With your hands work the seasonings into the beef being careful to not over mix (which results in tough sliders).
- Form mixture into patties. If you have a scale each patty will weigh roughly 3 ounces.
- Add patties to grill or skillet and cook to desired temperature. The USDA recommends cooking ground meat to 160 which would have no pink center. You can remove them sooner if you prefer a medium cooked burger.
Truffle Béarnaise
- Heat a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add the white wine and white wine vinegar with the shallots. Cook the mixture for several minutes so the liquid reduces in half and infuses the shallots with flavor.
- Once mixture reduces remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Add the tarragon, egg yolk, truffle spread, salt and pepper to the shallot mixture.
- Heat the butter in microwave until hot and melted being careful to not burn butter.
- Use a immersion blender to blend the shallot mixture while pouring hot butter into the dish slowly. This butter will cook the egg yolk. By pouring slowly this will keep the egg from scrambling. This will take less than a minute.
- Now you can assemble the slider by adding a spoonful of Béarnaise to each patty.
