Wagyu Beef Sliders
Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a recipe that’s close to my heart – Wagyu Ground Beef Sliders. These little bundles of joy are perfect for any gathering, and the rich, tender Wagyu beef takes them to a whole new level of deliciousness.
Total Cooking Time:
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Wagyu ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 6 slider buns, split and toasted
- 6 slices of cheese (your choice, I love Swiss for its melting qualities)
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 6 small lettuce leaves
- Mayonnaise, mustard, or any other condiments of your choice
- Optional: pickles, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- In a large bowl, gently mix your Wagyu ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The key is to handle the meat as little as possible to keep it tender.
- Form the mixture into 6 small, equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your buns.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If your Wagyu is lean, add a touch of oil; if not, let the pan get nice and hot.
- Place your patties in the skillet, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remember, Wagyu is best enjoyed not too overcooked to appreciate its natural flavors.
- A minute before your burgers are done, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the pan to let the cheese melt.
- Assemble your sliders: Spread your favorite condiments on the bottom buns, add a lettuce leaf, the Wagyu patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, and if using, any additional toppings like pickles or caramelized onions.
- Cap with the top buns, and secure with a skewer if needed.
