→ Garlic Aioli
12 -
120g mayonnaise
13 -
2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced
14 -
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
15 -
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
16 -
Fine sea salt, to taste
17 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust garlic and seasoning to taste. Refrigerate to allow flavors to develop.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, gently blend ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce until just combined. Do not overmix to preserve juiciness.
03 -
Divide beef mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each into a small patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each to ensure even cooking.
04 -
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear slider patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. If adding cheese, place a slice atop each patty in the final minute and cover to melt.
05 -
Lightly butter the inner sides of the slider buns. Toast cut-side down on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
06 -
Spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a patty, a few arugula leaves, a tomato slice, and several onion rings. Cap with the remaining bun halves.
07 -
Arrange sliders on a platter. Serve warm with additional garlic aioli for dipping and accompany with sides such as fries or fresh salad.
# Notes:
01 -
Chilling the aioli allows the garlic flavor to intensify and meld with the other ingredients for a richer condiment.
02 -
Making a slight indentation in each patty center prevents excessive puffing and encourages even cooking.
