These sliders combine tender Korean BBQ beef with a creamy, spicy gochujang aioli for a quick, crowd-pleasing meal perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80% lean recommended for juiciness)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 slider buns (soft and slightly sweet, like Parker House or Hawaiian rolls)
  • 1 cup shredded napa cabbage or crunchy slaw
  • Sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (to sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef with soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Mix gently but thoroughly without overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions (about 1.3 ounces or 37g each). Roll each into a ball and flatten slightly to form mini patties about 2-3 inches in diameter. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust gochujang to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Keep warm.
  5. Lightly toast slider buns on a dry skillet or in the oven for about 2 minutes.
  6. Assemble sliders by spreading gochujang aioli on the bottom bun, adding a beef patty, shredded cabbage, green onions, and sesame seeds. Top with the bun and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the beef to keep patties tender. Use medium-high heat for a good sear. Toast buns to prevent sogginess. Adjust gochujang level to taste. Aioli can be made ahead and refrigerated. Patties can be grilled for smoky flavor. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free buns. Ground turkey or chicken can substitute beef.
