Add flavor to everything you’re cooking shop over the fire spice lines Pro-Tip: Why patience is a virtue when grilling steak When it comes to cooking steak like a pro, taking the time to preheat your grill or skillet is essential. Bringing the surface up to the right high temperature helps you achieve that perfect sear. Trust the process, and your steak will reward you with restaurant-quality flavor and texture every time. How to Make Marry Me Steak Sliders Whether for a special occasion or just a fun night at home, these Marry Me Steak Sliders are your ticket to grilling greatness. So, let’s get prepping and cooking our little masterpieces! Start with the Sauce Toss all the fresh ingredients for the Marry Me Sauce in a blender before adding a pinch of black pepper and kosher salt to taste. Blend until it’s roughly chopped but still thick. This isn’t an Alfredo pasta sauce—it’s a thick sauce with bits of sun-dried tomato and parsley that adds vibrance to every bite. Prep the Steak Sliders Let’s coat those steaks to get the perfect sear. Season them with neutral oil, some FYR BLK Hot Sauce, and a generous layer of my Cowboy Butter Rub. Grilling Time Next, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400F). When the temperature is fully reached, sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side. For best results, pull them at 120F for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest on a large cutting board, then slice them into bite-sized cubes. Get Those Shallots Crispy Heat a skillet over medium heat with canola oil until it reaches 350F. Toss in thinly sliced shallots and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Set them on a paper towel to cool and crisp up. Assemble the Sliders Keep your slider rolls intact and slice them horizontally. Lay the bottoms in a foil pan or skillet. Layer on mozzarella cheese, steak slices, Marry Me Sauce, crispy shallots, and more cheese before topping with the top side of the buns. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra shine and crunch. Cook to Perfection Place the sliders in your grill over indirect heat at 350-375F. Let them cook for 10-12 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is gooey. If you have another foil pan, or lid of sorts, you can put that over the sliders and add a coal on top. This will help the top of the buns to crisp up a bit. Then, pull them off, let them cool slightly. Now slice and serve. Enjoy! What to Serve with Marry Me Steak Sliders These sliders are begging for some crispy fries, sweet potato fries, or tater tots on the side. Want to level it up? Toss in some crunchy pickles and a tangy slaw for that perfect balance of flavors. Bonus points if you add a cold beer or a sparkling lemonade to wash it all down.
