Method
1. Season the beef
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with soy sauce, mustard, honey, garlic powder, ginger, olive oil, and salt. Form into small slider patties, slightly wider than your buns to account for shrinkage.
2. Cook the patties
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. Add cheese slices in the final minute to melt, if using.
3. Toast the buns
Butter the insides of the slider buns and toast on the skillet until golden brown.
4. Make the special sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and mustard until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble the sliders
Spread the special cream sauce on each bun or over the top of the beef. Layer with the beef patty, and your favorite cheese.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with fries, sweet potato wedges, or a light slaw. These sliders also pair beautifully with tropical drinks or a crisp, bubbly sangria.
