Ingredients
Scale
For the Sliders
- 1½ – 2 lbs steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank work great)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Slider buns or mini brioche rolls
- Optional toppings: cheese slices, sautéed onions, arugula, pickles
For the Cowboy Butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Make the Cowboy Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, mustard, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Prep the Steak: Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), then rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
- Toast the Buns: While the steak rests, toast the slider buns cut side down in the same skillet until golden.
- Assemble the Sliders: Layer sliced steak onto the bottom buns. Spoon cowboy butter generously over the top. Add any extra toppings and finish with the top bun.
- Serve Immediately: Serve hot with extra cowboy butter on the side for dipping.
