Step 1: Put the ground beef and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Wet your hands with cold water, then gently combine the ingredients. Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions, then form each piece into a square patty about 2 inches on each side and 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate them, covered, until you are ready to grill.
Step 2: Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat it to high.
Step 3: When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Generously salt and pepper the beef patties and place them on the hot grate. Grill the sliders until cooked to taste, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium, turning them with a spatula.
Step 4: Brush the cut sides of the rolls with the melted butter and grill them until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch the buns carefully as they can burn quickly.
Step 5: To assemble the sliders, top the bottom half of each bun with a few arugula leaves, then a grilled beef patty, then top each with a slice of pickle, if desired, and the remaining half of the bun. Serve at once.

No, but this is a very common question. Although all Kobe is Wagyu, not all Wagyu is Kobe. Wagyu is the breed of cattle, which hails from Japan, and is famed for its dense marbling and flavor. Kobe beef comes from Wagyu cattle that meet very strict guidelines and are born, raised, and processed in Hyogo Prefecture of Japan, whose capital city is Kobe. Wagyu beef from the US could never be Kobe beef.
When beef does pass inspection, it is stamped or labeled with the USDA inspection stamp, and that means it is fit to eat. The USDA’s inspection is all or nothing. There’s no halfway or partially-passed beef. Meat inspection is a very thorough process.
