Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

8 slider buns

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1 small red onion, sliced

1 cup baby arugula or lettuce

For Cowboy Butter:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Make the Cowboy Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, chopped parsley, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Transfer to plastic wrap, shape into a log, and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).

    Prepare the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and black pepper. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into smaller pieces if needed.

      Toast the Slider Buns: While the steak is resting, cut the slider buns in half and toast them in the skillet (cut side down) for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

        Assemble the Sliders: Spread a generous amount of the chilled cowboy butter on the bottom half of each toasted slider bun. Add a layer of cooked steak, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a few slices of red onion, and a handful of arugula or lettuce. Cap with the top half of the bun.

          Serve: Slice each slider in half if desired for easier handling and serve warm, with extra cowboy butter on the side for dipping if desired.
