Tarheel Sliders with Carolina Slaw
- Details
Carolina BBQ traditions inspired this delicious Tarheel sliders combination, and the flavors work together perfectly. A healthy dose of our Tarheel BBQ Rub flavors the meat, and the Carolina slaw is pert with vinegar and Voodoo, plus just a little sweet to round it out. Everything is easy to prep and the sliders pop on and off the grill in just a few minutes. Sit back and enjoy the flavors!
Tarheel Sliders with Carolina Slaw
Ingredients
For the Carolina Slaw
- 1 medium green cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 cup white or apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon Voodoo
For the Tarheel Sliders
- 2 lb ground beef
- 3 tablespoons Tarheel BBQ Rub
- 12 slider buns
- Ketchup & pickles!
Instructions
For the Carolina Slaw
- Assemble the vegetables on a cutting board or in a large bowl. Working in batches, transfer a few cups of the vegetable combination to a food processor at a time and pulse 3-4 times to a rice-like consistency. You want the slaw to be fine enough to hold together on a slider bun, but be careful not to over-process. Transfer all the processed vegetables to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the remaining ingredients and pour over the processed vegetables.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The slaw can be made a day ahead.
For the Tarheel Sliders
- Prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment or waxed paper.
- Put the ground beef in a large bowl and sprinkle the Tarheel BBQ Rub over the top. Gently knead the spice into the meat and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a 4" patty. Line up the prepared patties on the sheet pan.
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Grill the patties about 6 minutes total, flipping once or twice during the cooking time.
- Serve immediately on slider buns with Carolina slaw, ketchup and a pickle.
