Top Shelf Kobe Burger

Top Shelf Kobe Burger

Freshly ground Kobe Beef is the star my absolute favorite burger – insist on perfect ingredients, and take the time to cook this one right! Serves 2-4 -- Easy

Two 6-8 oz handmade Tony’s Kobe Beef Patty
Sea salt flakes and freshly ground pepper
Natural Sharp Cheddar
Lettuce leaves & tomato slices
Thin slices of Sweet Yellow Onions
A fresh bakery roll, bun, or Kaiser
Coleman’s mustard, or your favorite

Chef’s notes: For the best results, use a grill with a heavy grate, or a grill topped with a large cast iron grill pan. Kobe beef benefits from slower cooking, so don’t rush it!

Preheat grill to medium high.

Season patties and place on a preheated, cleaned, and freshly oiled grilling grid, or cast iron grill pan. Close lid and grill for 3 minutes, rotate patty 45 degrees and place back on grid – close lid and grill for 3 minutes longer.

Turn patty when it’s browned nicely on the first side, reduce grill heat to medium, and continue to grill to about 150 degrees internal. Add a thick slice of cheddar to the patty, and place split buns on grill to toast. Close lid to melt cheese, but don’t forget to check the buns!

Brush top bun with mustard, and top the bottom half of the bun with dry lettuce, tomatoes, and onions (this keeps the juice from soaking the bun). Some folks like Mayonnaise on the bottom bun – heaven forbid! Add the patty and top bun – carefully split into halves with a large chef’s knife. Serve with pickle wedges, and ketchup.
