Ground Sirloin Sliders

Ingredients

• 12 miniature buns or dinner rolls
• 3/4 pound lean ground sirloin
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Olive oil cooking spray
• 2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
• 24 small dill pickle slices

Preparation

1. 1. Remove some of the fluffy center from the buns so that they will sit well on top of burgers; set aside.
2. 2. Combine sirloin with Worcestershire and pepper, and form into 12 (2-inch) flat patties.
3. 3. Preheat a lightly oiled grill pan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Cook burgers over moderate heat, turning, and evenly top with cheese, about 2 minutes per side for medium or until cheese is melted. (Use a meat thermometer to check that burgers have reached 160°.) Transfer the burgers to a plate, and grill the buns, cut sides down, 1-2 minutes or until toasted.
4. 4. Sandwich burgers between buns with about 2 pickles per slider.
