Beef Sliders with Cola-Onion Jam Cook: 1 hrs | Total: 1 hrs 15 mins | Serves: 12 sliders Why settle for a drive-thru slider when you can make a version that actually tastes like someone put love into it? These Beef Sliders with Cola-Onion Jam are the perfect example of a little effort yielding a massive reward.

I was surprised by how easy it is to achieve that perfect char on the outside while keeping the inside tender and flaky. The real magic happens when you drizzle the Grilled Salmon With Dill Chimichurri with a bold and herby chimichurri sauce made with finely chopped shallots, garlic, serrano chile, and a generous amount of fresh dill. As I mixed together the ingredients for the chimichurri, including extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a touch of sugar, I realized that this sauce is wh...
