How to make it
- Gently combine the ground chuck and ground sirloin in a bowl with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary, mixing just until blended to keep the meat tender.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a thin patty slightly wider than the buns, pressing a shallow dimple into the centre of each to prevent doming.
- Lightly brush the patties with olive oil and heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until hot.
- Grill the sliders for about 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until well marked, then flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
- If using cheese, lay a half slice on each patty during the last minute and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 71 C (160 F) in the centre, as ground beef must be fully cooked through.
- Lightly toast the cut sides of the buns on the grill for about 30 seconds until golden.
- Set each patty on a bun bottom, add your toppings, cap with the lid, and serve two sliders per person while hot.
