JUICY BUTTER BURGER SLIDERS WITH SWEET RUSSIAN SAUCE AND ARUGULA PESTO

Steps:

• For the sliders: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the sauteed onions, five-spice powder and 1 tablespoon of the balsamic vinegar, and season with a generous pinch of salt and of pepper. Add about one-quarter of the ground beef, and gently mix together until combined. Add the remaining ground beef and gently mix, making sure not to overmix.
• Divide the meat into approximately 2-ounce portions, and form each into a ball. Insert a cube of butter into the center of each ball, then lightly press into patties about 3/4-inch thick and 2 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a baking sheet, cover with plastic, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Fire up the grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook the sliders about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium doneness. After flipping, drizzle each slider with a bit of the remaining balsamic. Set two pieces of cheddar on each slider about 2 minutes before it is done cooking. Place the sliders on buns, and serve with sauces on the side.
• For the sweet Russian sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, cornichons, ketchup, balsamic and capers in a small bowl; mix until blended.
• For the arugula pesto: Combine the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a mini chopper or food processor, and pulse until the garlic is chopped. Add the toasted walnuts and pulse until finely chopped. Add the arugula, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice, and season with salt. Pulse just until everything is finely chopped, not pureed.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE AND PERFECT BURGER SLIDERS

Steps:

• Place ground chuck in mixing bowl (using an 80% - 20% fat content produces the best burgers). Add the onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper and the Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
• Place meat between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin roll meat out to 1/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter cut out patties. Keep rearranging the scrapes to make more patties. You should end up with 15. (I freeze 9 of my patties for later use. When I freeze them I separate the patties with parchment paper and place in freezer bag for up to 3 months. When ready to make take out the desired number and let defrost in the refrigerator over night).
• Heat oil and butter in pan over high heat. Add onions and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper and cook 3-4 minutes until onions are starting to soften. Add patties on top of onions turn to medium -medium high heat and cook for 3 minutes.Stir onions often. Flip burger and cook an additional 3 minutes. Place the bottom of the bun on the patty white side (not crust side) down on the patty. Place the top of the bun right side up on the bottom bun (meaning crust side up). Cover and cook an additional 1 minute. Remove the top half of the bun and place off to the side for a second while lifting the patty. Using large spatula lift up onion, patty and and bottom bun in one motion making sure the patty is facing up with the onions on top. Split the cheese into 6 pieces and place a piece on each patty. Then place the top half of the bun on top. Serve with choice of condiments. I've found it's just easier to dip your slider into the condiments instead of putting them on the patty.
