CHEF JOHN'S BEEF SLIDERS



Chef John's Beef Sliders image

Sliders are a small version of a hamburger. A little trick helps you to get them all the same size so they cook evenly and look very professional. Do a couple of tests to determine your perfect degree of doneness and cook all the burgers the same amount of time.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground beef
16 paper muffin liners
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
8 slider-size burger buns, cut almost through horizontally
8 slices roma (plum) tomato

Steps:

  • Place ground beef onto a work surface; divide into 8 equal-size pieces using a knife or pastry cutter. Line 8 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Sprinkle bottoms of paper liners with salt and black pepper. Form each piece of burger into a rough ball and place into a muffin cup. Season tops with salt and pepper.
  • Place a second paper liner on top of each piece of meat and gently press it down to shape the mini burger into a round, flat shape. Pull off the paper tops and remove burgers from the muffin cups; remove bottom paper liners from burgers.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers in the hot skillet until they have a browned crust and are slightly pink in the middle, about 3 minutes per side. Flip burgers and cook 3 minutes on other side. Remove burgers to a plate to rest for 2 minutes.
  • Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish in a bowl; spoon a dollop onto each bun. Place burgers onto buns, season with more black pepper, and top with a tomato slice. Close buns and serve.

CHEF JOHN'S JUICY LUCY



Chef John's Juicy Lucy image

This isn't just any old cheeseburger. Depending on whom you talk to, this cheese-stuffed burger is either called a "Juicy Lucy," or a "Jucy Lucy." That's because two restaurants in Minneapolis claim to have invented it, and they spell it differently. Make sure you thoroughly and thoughtfully press the edges of the two patties together to seal in the cheese stuffing, which keeps the meat juicier. Spread your favorite burger sauce over the bun.

  • Dump soaked mesquite chips on hot side of grill, allow them to come to a flame.
  • Place burgers on the grill allowing a sear mark to develop, then rotate 90 degrees for a "thatched" appearance.
