Cowboy Butter Steak Sliders are juicy mini sandwiches packed with seared steak and topped with a zesty, garlicky cowboy butter sauce. Perfect for parties, game day, or weeknight dinners, they’re bold, buttery, and irresistibly flavorful.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), seasoned with salt and black pepper
  • 8–10 slider buns or dinner rolls
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for cooking)
  • Optional: sliced cheese (provolone or Swiss)
  • For Cowboy Butter:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped chives or thyme

Instructions

  1. Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet or grill to desired doneness. Let rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
  2. While steak cooks, melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in garlic, mustard, lemon juice, paprika, red pepper flakes, herbs, salt, and pepper to make cowboy butter.
  3. Lightly toast slider buns if desired. Spread cowboy butter on bottom halves.
  4. Top with sliced steak and cheese (if using), then drizzle with more cowboy butter.
  5. Add top buns and serve warm, with extra sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken or portobello mushrooms for steak.
  • Try horseradish mayo, caramelized onions, or arugula for added layers of flavor.
  • Add jalapeños or more red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Grill steak for added smokiness.
  • Make cowboy butter ahead and store in fridge for up to 1 week.
