Description
Delicious Cowboy Butter Steak Sliders made with flank steak and cowboy butter, perfect for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 slider buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup cowboy butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the cowboy butter. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, chives, garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a log, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- While the steak is resting, slice the slider buns in half. Toast them lightly on the skillet or in a toaster if desired.
- Assemble the sliders by spreading a generous amount of cowboy butter on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with sliced steak, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the sliders.
- Substitute flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different flavor profile.
