Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 8 slices pickles
- 0.25 cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
Instructions
Begin by preparing the dairy-free cheese sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup avocado oil mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 minced small garlic clove. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Slice the medium tomato into 8 thin slices and half a red onion into thin rings, then set aside along with the 8 slices of pickles.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small patty about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef patties in a single layer.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, prepare your lettuce wraps. Wash and dry the 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, trimming if necessary to form small wraps.
To assemble the sliders, take a lettuce leaf and place a cooked beef patty on top, followed by a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, one slice of pickle, and a spoonful of the cheese sauce. Top with another lettuce leaf to complete the slider.
Repeat the assembly for the remaining patties and serve the sliders immediately.
