Take ordinary grilling and amp it up to gourmet with sliders made from premium, 30-day-aged, local beef.

Tip: For a real gourmet slider visit your local butcher and ask for premium local beef

INGREDIENTS METHOD

2 lbs premium local ground beef 1 Tsp good Dijon mustard 3 Tsp virgin olive oil 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves 3 tsp chopped fresh garlic 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 6 ounces grated Gruyere

Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. Place the ground beef in a large bowl and add the mustard, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with a fork to combine, taking care not to compress the ingredients.

if you prefer the sliders more well done. For the last 2 minutes of cooking time, place 1/2-ounce Gruyere on the top of each burger and close the grill lid. Remove the sliders to a platter and cover with foil.

Slice the buns in half crosswise and toast the halves cut side down on the grill.

Shape the meat into 12, two-inch patties of equal size and thickness.

12 small brioche buns 4 ounces baby arugula 3 medium tomatoes, sliced 2 small red onions, sliced Ketchup, for serving

Divide the baby arugula among the 12 bottom buns, top each with a slider, and finish with a slice of tomato and red onion. Cover with the top of the bun and serve hot with ketchup.

When the grill is medium-hot, brush the grill grate with oil to keep the sliders from sticking. Place the sliders on the grill and cook for four minutes. Turn the sliders over with a spatula and cook for another four to six minutes, until medium-rare, or cook longer
