Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Baking dish

Ingredients
  

Beef

  • 2 pounds beef sirloin, trimmed of fat
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided

Vegetables

  • 1 large yellow onion, cut in half, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, sliced

Cheese

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (113 g)

Breads

  • 1 package Brioche slider rolls (12-count)

Sauce

  • 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

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness based on your preference. Steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from heat.
