• 4 slices provolone piccante cheese, torn in half

How to make Beef sliders with provolone and balsamic onions

1. Divide the minced beef into 8 equal portions, each weighing approximately 115 g.  

2. Place one portion on a work surface and cup your hands around it, shaping it into a rounded mound.  

3. Gently flatten the patty to a thickness of about 2 cm.  

4. Season both sides with salt and pepper.  

5. Repeat the shaping and seasoning process with the remaining portions of minced beef.  

6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.  

7. Grill the patties until lightly charred on the bottom, approximately 3 minutes.  

8. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on top of each one.  

9. Grill until the desired doneness is achieved and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes for medium-rare.  

10. Transfer the patties to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes.  

11. While the patties are resting, grill the buns, cut side down, until lightly charred around the edges, about 30 seconds.  

12. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced onion with vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt, then let it sit for 5 minutes, squeezing the onions occasionally to soften them slightly.  

13. Assemble the sliders by placing a patty on each bun, topping it with the marinated onions and a dollop of aioli.  

14. If desired, the patties can be formed up to 6 hours in advance; cover and chill until needed.
