Preparing the Patties
Start by dividing the ground beef into equal portions, about 2 ounces each for the sliders. Shape each portion into a small, flat patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty; this helps them cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up during cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper, enhancing the natural flavors of the beef.
Cooking the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the patties in the pan. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side without moving them. This allows for a good sear, which adds flavor. After the initial cooking time, flip the patties and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. For sliders, medium-rare to medium is ideal.
Making the Pepper Mayo
While the patties are cooking, prepare the pepper mayo. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, garlic powder, and paprika. Use a fork or whisk to blend everything until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. This zesty mayo will add a creamy and flavorful kick to the sliders, enhancing each bite.
Toasting the Buns
Toasting the slider buns adds a delightful crunch and prevents them from becoming soggy. Simply slice the buns in half and place them cut-side down in the same skillet used for cooking the patties. Toast them for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly. This step elevates the overall texture and flavor of your sliders.
Assembling the Sliders
Once everything is ready, it’s time to assemble the sliders. Start by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Generously spread the pepper mayo on top of the patty. Add a piece of lettuce for a fresh crunch and additional flavor. Top with the other half of the bun, pressing down slightly to secure the ingredients together.
Serving Suggestions
These sliders are perfect for parties or casual gatherings. Serve them on a large platter with extra pepper mayo on the side for dipping. Consider pairing them with crispy fries or a light salad for a complete meal. You can also add pickles or sliced tomatoes for extra flavor and texture. The versatility of these sliders allows you to customize them to your liking.
Storing and Reheating
If you have leftover sliders, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You can also toast the buns slightly to revive their texture. Avoid using the microwave, as it tends to make the bread soggy. Enjoy the deliciousness of your sliders once again!
