Beef Sliders with Mint Aioli Sauce and Jicama Fries

by Gloria W., posted in Recipe

Hi everyone.  I have another recipe dedicated to Saint Patrick’s Day.  Ok you caught me – Beef Sliders are not traditional Irish fare but I made a “GREEN” mint aioli sauce to go with it.  I get points for the sauce.

This was a an easy slider recipe full of beef, cheese and sauce!  This recipe is perfect for  a simple weeknight dinner the whole family will enjoy.  Best of all – kids like it because they get to eat green burgers and dip their fries in green sauce.

I paired the beef sliders with jicama fries.  Why?  Well, I read an article about 10 non-potato french fries alternatives and I decided to make every alternative on the list.  I accepted the challenge, even though no one challenged me.

Jicama fries are super easy to make and actually taste great.  I made Yuca Fries a couple of weeks back and they did not turn out that great (in my opinion).  If anyone has a good recipe let me know and I will try again.

I had fun meal planning around Saint Patrick’s Day.  Now my kids feel I should inject color in every meal. I am not sure how I will be able to live up to this standard.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 medium jicama
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef, formed into patties

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven 375 degrees. Peel jicama and cut into fries. Transfer jicama slices in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place fries in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until crispy, turning halfway.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burgers in the hot skillet until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Flip burgers and cook 3 minutes on other side. Remove burgers and put on a plate to rest.
  3. In a mixer, add mayonnaise, mint, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper and process all ingredients until blended.  Spoon a dollop of aioli onto each bun. Place burgers onto buns, season with pepper, and top with optional ingredients (tomato, cheese, lettuce, and pickles).
  4. Close buns and serve with fries and mint aioli sauce.

  2. This looks really good! Not really St. Patrick’s day food (besides the sauce), but a fun and easy meal to make. I’ll have to try making those fries! Thanks for sharing this great meal!

    1. Don’t you hate it when you only need a small bit of something for a recipe and you have a ton let over. It’s like when a recipe calls for a bit of tomato paste and you have the rest of the jar left. Fries are perfect for left over jicama. Thanks for writing
