WAGU SLIDER WITH POACHED EGG AND PICKLED RED ONION

This bun-less slider is great for a weekend gathering with friends or sophisticated for an elevated brunch. Serve with a crusty sourdough or white bread, topped with my tomato jam. Goes well with a nice pinot noir.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb wagu beef (see note below)

  • Kosher salt

  • Ghee

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 tbsp white vinegar

  • Pickled red onion (store-bought is OK)

  • 1/8 c fresh chives, chopped

  • 4 bibb lettuce pieces (for plating)

  • Sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Separate wagu beef into 4 equal parts, and make 4 burgers (approximately 1” high)
    Salt each burger very generously with Kosher salt and black pepper (on both sides)
    Leave burgers out of fridge for 45 minutes prior to cooking (must be room temperature)

     

  2. Heat cast iron skillet on med/high, till pan is hot. Add burgers in pan, and sear on both sides for 2 minutes each (for medium rare). Take burgers off heat and put on plate and tent with tin foil, so burger can “rest.” 
     

  3. Add ghee, a dollop, a tablespoon or so. This is the indicator point. When it’s smoking that’s the sign to put the burgers in the pan.
     

  4. Meanwhile, put water in pot and bring to simmer (this step should be done while burgers are cooking). Crack eggs into ramekins. When the water is simmering, add a splash of vinegar
    Drop each egg gently into center of pot with simmering water. Cook 3 minutes (get a timer people!) and then take egg out with slotted spoon and let drain on a kitchen towel
    (If you do one egg at a time, you can reheat all the eggs together for 30 seconds in the pot of simmering hot water). 

     

  5. Time to plate! 
    Layer bibb lettuce on plate, add burger, then delicately place poached egg on top of burger
    Cut a small slice into yolk, so yolk covers a portion of the burger. Top with a dash of sea salt, red pickled onion and fresh chopped chives. Enjoy!

     

A FINAL NOTE

If you cannot find wagu beef you can use regular beef with one teaspoon of mayonnaise added to each burger patty to achieve the desired consistency.
