Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cowboy Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Assembly

  • 8 soft slider buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cowboy Butter: Soften the butter at room temperature. Finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley, chives, and thyme. Mix the butter, garlic, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the flavorful cowboy butter.
  2. Cook the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak to your preferred doneness (medium-rare recommended for juiciness). Let the steak rest before slicing thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Lightly toast the slider buns to add crunch and prevent sogginess. Spread a generous layer of cowboy butter on both halves of each bun. Layer thin slices of steak on the bottom bun. Add cheese or extras if desired. Close the sliders and press gently to secure.

Notes

  • Let the steak rest after cooking to retain juices and prevent dryness.
  • Use softened butter to easily blend herbs and garlic for a smooth texture.
  • Slice steak thinly against the grain for tender bites.
  • Lightly toast buns to improve texture and reduce sogginess.
  • Make cowboy butter ahead of time and refrigerate for faster assembly.
