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.
