These diminutive burgers are a favorite on the tailgating circuit, providing three or four bites of beefy bliss. While you could make them with pedestrian ground beef, using Kobe-style or Wagyu beef will ensure your sliders are luxuriant as well as ultra-juicy and flavorful.

Travel the world's barbecue trail and you will find burgers of every meat, shape, and size
0:05
from tiny sliders to jumbo pletzkevica. Here on Primal Grill, good things come in small packages

I give you Kobe beef sliders. Kobe beef originated in Kobe, Japan, where it's made from the Yugu breed of cattle
0:21
specially raised and fed a special diet. The result is beef of incredible richness with supernatural marbling
0:30
Now there are two ways to form the sliders. You can pat the meat out into a rectangle and cut it with a round cutter
0:41
Or use a slider press. Simply place the balls of meat in the slider press, which I've lined with plastic wrap
0:52
Press the top. And here are your sliders
1:02
Ready for grilling. I like to chill the meat for at least an hour
1:07
It help the sliders hold together better And whenever you handle raw beef you want to wash your hands with hot soapy water and use a hand sanitizer Okay let me show you how to prepare the caramelized shallots
1:22
A shallot is a member of the onion family. It has a more refined taste than an onion
1:28
And I preheated a cast iron skillet. Add a couple tablespoons of butter
1:35
and a little olive oil, which raises the burning point of the butter
1:42
Add the shallots to the melted butter and oil. And put the shallots back on the grill
1:52
Cook the shallots until caramelized a deep golden brown about 10 minutes
1:59
And add salt. And freshly ground. black pepper to taste. Meanwhile, I have melted some salted butter and what makes a
2:12
truly great slider is buttering and grilling the buns. Last step right before grilling
2:33
generously season your sliders with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2:45
We'll arrange the sliders on the grill. Season side down. Once the sliders are on, you want to season the tubs
3:06
Cooking time is quick, three to four minutes per side. Meanwhile, let's grill the buns
3:18
Grill the buns until nicely toasted a couple of minutes. The perfect burger is a contrast in textures
3:25
the crunchy bun, the meaty burger, the soft caramelized shallots. All right, time to turn the sliders
3:36
Whenever grilling ground beef you want to cook it all the way through at least to 160 degrees And take off the grilled buns when golden brown
3:49
And now the sliders. I like to keep the seasoning really simple, salt and pepper
4:01
Top each slider with caramelized shallots
4:19
Finally, a pickle chip. Let's see how we did
4:35
Mmm, the sweet shallot, the tart pickles, when beef is this rich, you don't need to do a lot more
4:42
So there you have it, Kobe Beef Sliders, a primal grill twist on an American classic
