Recipe: Kobe Beef Sliders With Taragon Aioli and Caramelized Onions [edit]

Step 1

Carmelized Onions

Step 2

Slice onions into ¼ inch slices.

Step 3

Heat a wide pan or wide dutch oven to medium-high with olive oil to coat the bottom. Add the onions.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Next, ideally, you want to try to flip the onions. The objective is to keep even browning and even heat on the onions.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Within an hour, your onions should be perfectly browned.

Step 8

Tarragon Aioli

Step 9

Add egg yolks, garlic, vinegar & salt to food processor. Pulse until everything is chopped and the egg is frothy.

Step 10

With food processor running, slowly add oil, until the mixture is thick.

Step 11

Add minced tarragon, and salt & pepper to taste.

Step 12

Burgers

Step 13

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.

Step 14

Presentation

Step 15
