Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 onion, Spanish (or white, grated or chopped fine in a food processor)
1 1/2 lbs ground beef, 80/20, at room temperature
1/4 cup butter (clarified or melted)
fine sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
8 slices cheese, American
8 rolls, burger, mini, buttered and lightly toasted
ketchup
mustard
pickle, dill, any other condiments and garnishes you prefer

Steps:

  • Wrap the grated onion in a damp cheesecloth and wring out as much liquid as you can into a small bowl. Add about 1/4 water and set aside. Discard the solids.
  • Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Portion the ground beef into 8 balls. Do not ball up tight. Pat the balls loosely to avoid pushing the fat out of the meat. This will allow ll the natural flavor to be absorbed into the meat as it cooks.
  • Pour a few tablespoons of clarified butter onto the griddle. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Lightly sprinle the burgers with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers to order-we prefer medium. The trick here is to sear the ground beef on both sides, about 1 minute on each side, to lock in the juices. Then move the patties to indirect heat, or turn the heat down, if you want them cooked more.
  • Top the burgers with American cheese. Pour a little bit of onion juice around burgers; the steam will melt the cheese into the meat. This truly makes the difference in the taste. Put the burgers on the buns and add your favorite condiments.

BEET SLIDERS(GATSBY'S)

I saw this being made on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives and then heard the raves from the customers and had to get the recipe. You gotta give this a try, you won't be dissapointed. :D If you can't find the Maggi seasoning, use sugar(it's the main ingredient of the seasoning). I haven't tried using the sugar, so use your own judgement on this. You can scale this down to feed less if you like.

Time 1h24m

Yield 16-18 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 25

5 quarts water
1/2 cup sea salt, plus a pinch
1 tablespoon dried dill
8 -10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 -6 bay leaves
6 dried arbol chiles
1/4 cup coriander seed
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
1/2 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons seasoning, sauce (recommended Maggi)
6 -8 whole beets (depending on size)
olive oil
sliced red onion, for serving
16 -18 slider buns, toasted (at the restaurant they use potato rolls)
1 bunch fresh tarragon, stemmed, finely chopped
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, stemmed, finely chopped
1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 cup sour cream
2 cups mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large stock pot, combine and the water, 1/2 cup sea salt, dill, thyme, bay leaves, chiles, coriander, caraway, carrots, celery, onions, seasoning sauce, and beets and bring to a boil. Boil on medium heat for about 1 hour.
  • Remove the beets and let cool, discarding the liquid. Once cooled, remove the skin from the beets with a vegetable peeler. (Remember to wear gloves, as the beets will stain your hands as well as other surfaces.) Cut the beets into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices. Place the beet slices, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt into a skillet over high heat and saute until glossy and tender, about 2 1/2 minutes on each side(or cook on a grill).
  • Remove the beets from the skillet and serve with shaved red onion and Green Goddess Dressing on a toasted slider bun.
  • To make Green Goddess Dressing:.
  • Combine the herbs, green onions, buttermilk, lemon juice, and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Let macerate for 10 minutes. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise, and blend with an immersion blender until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
