Method

Prepare the Wagyu Filet

  1. 1

    Season the Wagyu

    Sprinkle the Westholme Wagyu beef filet evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Filet

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil if desired, then place the seasoned Wagyu filet in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare Vegetables

  1. 3

    Roast the Tomato

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tomato into thick rounds, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

  2. 4

    Caramelize the Onion

    While the tomato is roasting, slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.

Prepare the Aioli

  1. 5

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto and mayonnaise. Stir until well blended to create the basil pesto aioli.

Assemble the Sliders

  1. 6

    Build the Sliders

    Slice the brioche buns in half. On the bottom half, place a handful of arugula, followed by a slice of the cooked Wagyu filet, a piece of roasted tomato, and a generous spoonful of caramelized onions. Finally, spread the basil pesto aioli on the top half of the bun and place it on top to complete the slider.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Wagyu filet sliders warm and enjoy with your favorite sides.
