Kobe Beef Burger Help..?
Columi
Posts: 10
First post BTW, been lurking for ages...
So I just picked up a pack of Kobe Burgers, each is a 1/3 of a pound, they are currently frozen. The Fish Monger here in Chicago that I bought them from suggested I DO NOT thaw them, but instead cook them frozen. Its been ages since Ive cooked frozen burgers on any grill, let alone my BGE, so Im hoping for some guidance and suggestion.
How should I approach this? Ideally the burgers will be medium rare to medium with a nice crust on the outside and a pink middle...high temp direct flipping frequently after a nice sear? 400 Degrees? 500? How long? Etc...? I dont wanna screw these up, any help is much appreciated...

I think I would eat them raw...thawed of course but raw. :silly:
If I was going to cook them I would let them thaw slightly, maybe an hour at room temp then throw them on an inferno (700 dome) for about 1 minute per side.
Would you be inteested in adopting a 50 year old man?

Thanks Civil...appreciate your input tho I may give em an extra minute or two per side

Over cooking Kobe beef is a sin that can not be forgiven.

i agree.
you don't buy the best champagne and then put an ice cube in it.
hahah
went to lunch with my former boss once, and we both ordered the exact same burger. he wanted his done well, though, and i asked for rare. purple middle.
they came, and he took a bite of his, rolled his head back and said "man. see, that's what i'm talkin about. no better way to have a burger"
sheesh. well done. so i took a bite of mine and instead of rare, it was hard and dry and grey. well done also.
wait a second.
i said "lemme see your burger." it was rare. purple middle. he had been given MY burger. "best burger you ever had, eh? well. it's mine, and it's rare".
best way to eat rare burgers if you are squeamish, is to turn down the lights.
the reason the butcher told him to do them frozen was to preserve some measure of "rare" by the time the outside looked good enough to eat. he wasn't saying they NEEDED to be cooked frozen, he was just trying to find a way that he could tell someone to cook it while hopefully preserving some semblance of the way it ought to be enjoyed.
i say, cook them rare. try it. and then (god forbid) throw them back on if you really need to. can cook something a little MORE always, but you can't UNCOOK nuthined egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante
