Kobe Beef Sliders With Tarragon Aioli Caramelized Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Make the onions: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the onions and stir to coat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions are golden, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the bourbon, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Return to low heat, add the butter and cook until melted. Add the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook until there is very little liquid left.
• Meanwhile, make the aioli: Pulse all of the ingredients in a food processor until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the sliders: Preheat a grill to medium high. Form the beef into twelve 4-ounce patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Oil the grill rack, then add the patties and season with the garlic salt, and sea salt and pepper to taste. Grill until browned and cooked halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, top with some of the caramelized onions and cook 3 more minutes for medium (or to desired doneness).
• Meanwhile, brush the insides of the buns with butter and toast on the grill, about 1 minute. Brush the insides of the bun tops with about 1 tablespoon aioli. Put the burgers on the bun bottoms and cover with the tops. Thread each lime wedge onto a skewer; pierce the skewers through the sliders.

Steps:

• Start up your grill and make sure it's hot.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the beef, seasonings, and shallots. Mix the meat with your hands, thoroughly incorporating the seasoning and shallots. Form the meat into small-sized patties. Put the mini-patties on the grill and cook through, giving it about 2 to 3 minutes per side. In the last 2 minutes of grilling, top each patty with a slice of cheese and allow it to start melting. When the cheese has melted, remove the patties from grill. Put the patties on the bottom half of the bun, garnish with micro greens, and lean the top half of the bun on the side of the slider, exposing the greens, for presentation purposes. Serve hot with condiments on the side.
• If giving to your dog, go with a mild cheese

Steps:

• Carmelized Onions 1. Slice onions into ¼ inch slices. 2. Heat a wide pan or wide dutch oven to medium-high with olive oil to coat the bottom. Add the onions. 3. Turn the pan down to medium. Cook for 20-30 minutes before stirring. Essentially, you want to brown an entire layer of onions before stirring. 4. Next, ideally, you want to try to flip the onions. The objective is to keep even browning and even heat on the onions. 5. You'll need to flip/stir a few times more. You may need to add a couple tablespoons of water to release the fond and avoid burning. 6. Within an hour, your onions should be perfectly browned. Tarragon Aioli 1. Add egg yolks, garlic, vinegar & salt to food processor. Pulse until everything is chopped and the egg is frothy. 2. With food processor running, slowly add oil, until the mixture is thick. 3. Add minced tarragon, and salt & pepper to taste. Burgers The easiest way is to simply remove the burgers from the box and grill. If you are pan frying them, use a high-heat oil like grapeseed or peanut oil. Cook on high for a couple minutes on each side to get a nice sear. Presentation Cut buns and brush them with clarified butter or olive oil and grill or toast to golden. Spread one side of each bun generously with aioli. Then, add the grilled burger and some carmelized onions. Wine Pairing: Red Priorat or Rioja from the Old World, such as Alvaro Palacios Les Terasses, or R.
