Pimento Cheese Kobe Burgers

byrne092

Got my shipment of ground kobe from SRF on Friday so naturally I had to do some burgers. Made up some half pounders and got the egg setup for indirect. Cooked until 140 and finished in a CI skillet, added the homemade pimento cheese after the flip. Flavor and texture of the burger was excellent, super tender and juicy, ended up being a nice med/med rare. Topping them with the pimento cheese was delicious, but kind of took away from beef. Next time I will probably just do a good piece of cheese and light condiments because the burger can hold it's own.

Well played sir. 

But I would agree. I had a Wagyu burger a few weeks ago. Just beef and cheese and dill mayo. It was amazing.

 I would think the cheese may have distracted from the meat a little. But pimento cheese on a burger with bacon and BBQ sauce is one of my favorites.

Nice! Looks similar to the recipe on SRFs site.

Yeah I guess it could have been more done? 30 seconds a side in CI. Nice warm pink center...how most men like it.

Looks great...I picked up a couple of the 5 pound Kobe packs as well. That was a good sale. Can't wait to try some.

Pimento Cheese burgers are my favorite. One day I'm going to spring for the Kobe burgers from SRF, but for now I'll live vicariously through you!

@tarheelmatt That's what gave me the idea. Never made pimento cheese before so I just googled it and picked one that sounded good. Used some of the leftover as a dip for tortilla chips, really good!
@Photo Egg Yep, the sale price wasn't that much more than fresh ground around here, so i bought 4. You will definitely enjoy it, just has an overall great flavor.
