Instructions:
-
Preheat the Grill:
Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the flank steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. -
Cook the Steak:
Grill the steak 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. -
Prepare Cowboy Butter:
While the steak rests, combine softened butter, parsley, chives, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and flavorful. -
Toast the Buns:
Slice slider buns in half and lightly toast on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a generous amount of cowboy butter on the bottom half of each bun. -
Assemble the Sliders:
Layer with sliced steak, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes:
- For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Flank steak can be swapped for sirloin or ribeye for a slightly different flavor and texture.
These sliders are a perfect combination of tender steak, rich butter, and fresh veggies—guaranteed to be a hit at any table.
