- Shape meat into 12 (2") patties of equal size and thickness
- When grill is medium-hot, brush grate with oil to keep sliders from sticking
- Place sliders on grill and cook for 4 min
- Turn sliders over and cook until medium-rare, 4- 6 min, or longer if you prefer theme to be more well done
- For the last 2 min of cooking time, place 1/2 oz. Gruyere on top of each burger and close grill lid
- Remove sliders to a platter and cover with foil
- Slice buns in half crosswise and toast halves cut side down on the grill
- Divide arugula among the 12 bottom buns, top each with a slider, and finish with a slice each of tomato and red onion
- Cover with the top of the bun and serve hot with ketchup
