How to Make the Perfect Wagyu Slider

By Team Kai WagyuOctober 17, 2025

Ingredients:

  • Kai Wagyu Ground Beef (80/20 blend for ideal fat balance)

  • Brioche or Hawaiian slider buns

  • Kai Wagyu Truffle Butter or aioli

  • Caramelized onions or melted cheese

  • Sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

  1. Shape the Patties: Form small, 2-ounce portions and press lightly to keep the meat loose.

  2. Season Simply: Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper — Wagyu’s flavor speaks for itself.

  3. Sear or Grill: Cook over medium-high heat for 1½–2 minutes per side. The fat will baste the patty naturally.

  4. Toast the Buns: Brush with truffle butter and lightly toast for added aroma and texture.

  5. Assemble: Layer the patty, caramelized onions, and a touch of truffle aioli. Serve warm.

Optional upgrade: Add a slice of cheddar or smoked gouda for an extra layer of richness.

Serving Ideas for Game Day

  • Arrange sliders on a platter with small skewers for easy grabbing.

  • Pair with truffle fries or Wagyu chili for a full football spread.

For drinks, try pairing these sliders with an IPA or a light red wine like Pinot Noir to balance the richness.
