Mini Kobe Cheeseburgers with Remoulade Sauce

A recipe from the 2014 Oscar menu by Hollywood chef Wolfgang Puck.

Wolfgang Puck

Makes 12 mini burgers

Ingredients
340 g Kobe beef, minced
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
4 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
12 small slices organic cheddar cheese
12 small brioche rolls with sesame seeds
remoulade sauce (see recipe below)
rocket salad leaves
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cornichons, sliced
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan.
  • Place the mince in a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Mix well with your hands. Take a small amount of the ground beef (about two tablespoons) and form it into a meatball in your hand. Flatten the ball slightly and then place the mini burger patties on a plate.
  • Drizzle the meatballs with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the burgers on a hot grill, first on one side for three minutes, then flip with tongs. Then place a slice of cheddar on top of the burger and let it melt.
  • While the cheese is melting, place the burger buns on the grill and lightly toast on both sides for about 2 minutes in total.
  • Assemble the burger: Place the toasted brioche halves on a plate. Place a small spoonful of remoulade sauce (see recipe below) on the bottom half. Place the burger patty on top (cheese facing up), place an arugula leaf, a slice of tomato and a slice of cornichon on top. Finally put the other half of the burger bun on top.
