Ingredients for Riverbend Cattle Co. Withlacoochee Seasoned Aoli:
- 1 tablespoon of Riverbend Cattle Co. Withlacoochee seasoning
- 2/3 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 a lemon
Ingredients for Dry Aged Sliders:
- 1 lb of Riverbend Cattle Co.Dry Aged Ground Beef
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Other seasonings such as garlic powder or cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 1 onion thinly sliced for topping sliders
- 1 package of Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls
Instructions:
Step 1
To make the seasoned aoli, add Withlacoochee seasoning to the mayonnaise and sour cream, and squeeze lemon in. Mix together vigorously with a whisk or hand held blender and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to overnight to allow flavors to marinate. Refrigerate and mix once more before serving to ensure all the flavors are evenly combined.
Step 2
Weigh out 2 to 2 ½ ounce balls of Riverbend Cattle Co. 21 day dry aged ground beef. Flatten these with a spatula to 1/3” thick. You can use your fingertips to create indentions in the surface of the slider. This will help it pick up the grilled flavor while allowing it to caramelize on the grill. It’s a grilled take on a classic smashed burger preparation. Season with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder or use Riverbend Cattle Co. grill seasoning.
Step 3
Pro tip: We love using GrillGrates on our grill for those perfect grill marks. But for this preparation we, turn the grates upside down, creating a nice flat surface to both grill and sear the sliders.
Preheat your grill with the upside down GrillGrates on it and maintain a stable 400-425 degrees with the lid closed before starting your cooking. Place the sliders on the grill and allow to cook covered for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Open the grill and use a flat, unslotted spatula to press with medium pressure to help sear and caramelize the slider. Flip and repeat on the other side. The second side needs only 60-90 seconds cook time. But remember, to use the spatula again to sear it.
Place the sliders on a Kings Hawaiian sweet roll. Top with onions and a dollop of Riverbend Cattle Co. Withlacoochee seasoned aioli. You can top your slider with your favorite cheese too if you like. Enjoy!
