Beef Medallions

Caramelized Onions

Basil Pesto Aioli

Additional Toppings

Method

Beef Medallions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Trim the beef tenderloin of any excess fat and cut it into 1-inch thick medallions. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef medallions in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Caramelized Onions

  1. 3

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

  2. 4

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet used for the beef, add butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced onions and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Add balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Basil Pesto Aioli

  1. 5

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, basil pesto, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Assembling the Sliders

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the mini brioche buns in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sliders

    Spread a generous amount of basil pesto aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with arugula, a beef medallion, caramelized onions, and roasted red peppers. Top with the other half of the bun.
