Asian Sliders With Homemade Cilantro Aioli Recipe!

It's cook out season! The air is cooler and fresher, and it stays warmer out longer, thanks to Mr. Sun not going away too quickly these days. So what better way to kick off the weekend than with an Asian slider recipe on toasted buns, and home made cilantro aioli! So it was my birthday last week and our dear friend Fr. Leo came by to treat some friends and I to this incredible 6 course meal! So grab your appetite and lets start cookin because today is day one of six!

I'll be giving you one recipe daily so that each night you'll have a treat to cook! These were incredible! I mean Fr. Leo did beat Bobby Flay!!! Haha, can't wait for you all to make these! 6 courses in 6 days! So hold on to something because these are amazing! They were crunchy yet moist, salty yet sweet, refreshing AND satiating!

So what'll you'll need for the Sliders: 

1 TBLspoon Olive Oil

1/2 White Onion

Sea Salt

Cracked Black Pepper

1 TBLspoon Garlic Powder

1 tspspoon Ground ginger

2 TBLspoons brown sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce 

Ground beef (I used 80/20 lean portion)

Saute half of a finely chopped white onion in olive oil, then roll it into the ground beef, add in all the spices, and fry on a pan. You'll fry them dry since there's fat in the beef so no oil is necessary.  

For the bun, simply take some hot dog buns and cut them in half, this makes them 'mini' buns. Then drizzle the inside halves with olive oil and lightly sprinkle them with sea salt, and bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 7-10 minutes. Just until they are crisp (not burnt) and set aside. 

For the aioli: 

2 cups mayo

3 TBLspoons sea salt

Sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper

1 1/2 TBLspoons old bay seasoning

2 Teaspoons garlic powder

Fresh Cilantro (de-leaf whole, you'll want the leaves to top off the sliders)

Mix all of the ingredients (except for the cilantro) together in a bowl and whisk well. Put each slider onto a toasted mini bun, swipe on some aioli, sprinkle with the fresh cilantro leaves and ENJOY!!! Badabinggg badaboom!!!

This recipe is so incredibly delicious and if you make it for a dinner party or get together you WILL be the coolest and best cook at the party! So give these a try and let me know what you think!
