2. Make the Cowboy Butter: In a bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the steak and cook to your desired doneness (3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
4. Toast the Slider Buns: In the same skillet, toast the slider buns, cut-side down, until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Sliders: Spread a layer of cowboy butter on each bun half, add a few slices of steak, and top with arugula or your choice of greens for an extra burst of freshness.
6. Serve: Place the top bun on each slider and serve warm. These flavorful Cowboy Butter Steak Sliders are perfect for gatherings or a hearty appetizer!
