Goya Foods’ Baseball Beef Sliders with Bacon-Guava Jam
Goya Foods’ Executive Chef Fernando Desa covers all the bases for a great tailgating dish: sliders made with pure Nolan Ryan beef and topped with home-run bacon-guava jam. These aren’t your average sliders! Desa takes game day to the next level by showing you how to make homemade condiments, including a truffle aioli, that are well worth that added effort.
Ingredients
Aioli
- 1 cup Goya Foods Mayo
- 2 teaspoons minced chives
- 2 teaspoons Goya Foods Minced Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Goya Foods Lemon Juice
- Kosher salt
- Truffle oil to taste (add sparingly)
Jam
- 1 pound bacon diced
- 2 large white onions thinly sliced
- 1 envelope Goya Foods Sazon without Annatto
- ¼ cup Goya Foods Panela (unrefined cane sugar)
- 3 Tablespoons Goya Foods Guava Jelly
- 1 Tablespoon Goya Foods Balsamic Vinegar
Burgers
- Vegetable oil for greasing
- 1 pound Nolan Ryan 90/10 Ground Wagyu Beef
- Goya Foods Adobo with Pepper
- 8 slices Muenster cheese
- Microgreens for garnish (optional)
- 8 slider buns split and toasted
Instructions
Make the Aioli
- In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the Jam
- In a medium pot, cook the bacon until crispy. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the sazon and panela and cook, stirring, until combined. Add the guava jelly and ½ cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar.
Prepare the Sliders
- Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and oil the grates. Shape the beef into small 2-ounce patties and then season all over with adobo.
- Grill the patties until charred on the bottom. Flip, top each patty with a folded piece of cheese, and then grill until the sliders are medium-rare within and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
- To assemble the sliders, top each bottom bun with a patty. Smear some aioli and the jam on the top buns. Add microgreens for garnish. Close the sliders and serve right away.
