Equipment
- large non-stick skillet
- 9x13-inch baking dish
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef sirloin, trimmed of fat
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 large yellow onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, sliced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded approximately 113 g
- 1 package Brioche slider rolls 12-count
- 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted, divided
Instructions
Preparation
- Season steak with salt and pepper. Let it rest on the counter for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- While the steak is resting, caramelize the onions. In a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Once melted, add the onions and sauté them for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are very tender and caramelized to a rich golden brown color. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In the same skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining butter. Add steak and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until meat is cooked to your liking.
- Carefully tip up the skillet, spooning the butter back over the steak. You can also add more butter to the pan if you want.
- Set the steak aside to cool slightly, approximately 5 minutes.
- Slice the steak against the grain as thinly as possible.
Assembly
- Split your rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves into the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly pour about ¼ cup of the melted cowboy butter over the bottom halves of the rolls in the pan.
- Top with the steak slices.
- Evenly place the jalapeños and shredded cheese over the steak.
- Evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls on top of the onions. Brush the tops of the rolls with about ¼ cup melted cowboy butter.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes (or until the tops of the sliders turn a golden brown).
- Remove from oven. Brush the remaining melted cowboy butter over the warm sliders.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
Determining when steak is done cooking is really up to you. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness as steak will continue to cook after it's removed from heat.
