Best Slaw Topped Beef Sliders Recipes

CLASSIC BEEF SLIDERS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Divide the ground beef into 12 portions (about 2 ounces each). Pat each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty and make an indentation in the center with your thumb so the patties keep their shape while cooking. Sprinkle with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Brush the grill grates or grill pan with oil. Grill the patties, turning once, until nicely browned but still a bit pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Top each patty with a piece of cheese and grill until melted, about 1 minute.
• Arrange the sweet rolls cut-side up on a cutting board or large serving platter. Spread some ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard on each roll bottom. Top with a piece of lettuce and a burger patty. Put a pickle on each patty and sandwich with the remaining roll tops.

HAWAIIAN BEEF SLIDERS WITH PINEAPPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place bell pepper pieces and chopped onion in the bowl of a small food processor or blender and pulse several times into small, uniform pieces. Transfer vegetables to a large mixing bowl and add garlic.
• Combine liquid smoke, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and egg in a small bowl; stir briskly to combine. Mix in bread crumbs, stirring until moistened. Add to vegetables. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients with your hands until evenly combined.
• Form ground beef mixture into twelve 3-inch patties and space evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until desired doneness is achieved, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
• While the patties are baking, prepare the pineapple slaw. Drain pineapple tidbits and reserve 1 tablespoon of the juice. Combine pineapple tidbits, shredded cabbage, and green onions in a salad bowl.
• Stir mayonnaise, rice vinegar, reserved pineapple juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl for the dressing. Toss pineapple slaw with the dressing.
• Slice Hawaiian bread rolls horizontally and place a cooked patty on each bottom half. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons pineapple slaw, and top with the other roll half. Garnish each slider with a pineapple chunk, secured with a toothpick.

SLIDERS

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill.
• Place the ground beef in a large bowl and add the mustard, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with a fork to combine, taking care not to compress the ingredients. Shape the meat into 12 (2-inch) patties of equal size and thickness.
• When the grill is medium-hot, brush the grill grate with oil to keep the sliders from sticking. Place the sliders on the grill and cook for 4 minutes. Turn the sliders over with a spatula and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes, until medium-rare, or cook longer if you prefer the sliders more well done. For the last 2 minutes of cooking time, place 1/2-ounce Gruyere on the top of each burger and close the grill lid. Remove the sliders to a platter and cover with foil.
• Slice the buns in half crosswise and toast the halves cut side down on the grill.
• Divide the baby arugula among the 12 bottom buns, top each with a slider, and finish with a slice of tomato and red onion. Cover with the top of the bun and serve hot with ketchup.

SLOW COOKER PHILLY-STYLE SHREDDED BEEF SLIDERS

Steps:

• Season each side of the chuck roast with 1 teaspoon seasoning salt.
• Set slow cooker on Low and spread out onion slices in a single layer on the bottom of the pot. Reserve a few slices for the top of the roast.
• Heat cooking oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Brown seasoned roast in the hot oil, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place on top of the onion slices, and pour undiluted consomme and Worcestershire sauce over the top. Cover with reserved onion slices.
• Cover and cook on Low until the beef is very tender, 8 to 10 hours.
• Remove beef from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat and discard fat and membranes. Return shredded meat to the slow cooker and keep warm.
• Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Open buns and place in the skillet, cut sides down. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat for remaining buns, adding additional butter, if desired.
• Place a piece of cheese on each bun half. Add 1/3 cup shredded beef, squeezing out most of the liquid, and cooked onions, as desired. Cover with the top buns. Serve warm.
