minutesIngredients
1 pound ground beef
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley
4 pieces slider buns
Directions
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to heat for about a minute.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into small patties about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place the patties on the heated skillet. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side until burgers reach desired doneness.
- While patties are cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper into the melted butter. Allow the ingredients to combine thoroughly for 2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. This will form the cowboy butter sauce.
- Assemble sliders by placing cooked patties on the slider buns. Drizzle each slider with a generous amount of cowboy butter sauce.
- Serve the Cowboy Butter Sliders warm, optionally garnished with extra parsley for added flavor.
