Description

Juicy ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and creamy cheddar cheese sauce come together in soft slider buns to create these Grilled Onion Ribeye Steak Sliders with Cheddar Cheese Sauce—a party-perfect, handheld indulgence.


Ingredients

  • Ribeye Steak: 1½ pounds – Juicy, tender cut packed with flavor.
  • Slider Buns: 12 – Soft and pillowy, the perfect handheld size.
  • Yellow Onions: 2 large, thinly sliced – Slowly caramelized for sweetness.
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons – Helps onions cook evenly.
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons – Adds richness to onions and sauce.
  • Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups, shredded – Sharp and creamy for the sauce.
  • Milk: 1½ cups – Base for the cheese sauce.
  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 tablespoons – Thickens the sauce.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon – Balances flavors.
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon – Adds warmth.
  • Garlic Powder: ½ teaspoon – Enhances savory depth.


Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Warm a cast iron skillet for onions and a small saucepan for the cheese sauce.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Season ribeye with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the skillet, heat olive oil and butter, then add onions. Cook over medium-low heat for 20–25 minutes until golden and caramelized.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: On the grill, cook ribeye for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
  4. Assemble the Dish: In the saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, then slowly add milk. Stir until thickened, then add shredded cheddar and whisk until smooth.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Warm slider buns lightly on the grill for 1–2 minutes until slightly toasted.
  6. Finishing Touches: Layer sliced ribeye, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of cheddar cheese sauce onto each bun.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Stack them on a platter and serve hot.

Notes

  • Choose well-marbled ribeye for the juiciest sliders.
  • Caramelize onions low and slow for maximum sweetness.
  • Use freshly shredded cheddar for the smoothest cheese sauce.
  • Warm the slider buns before assembling to keep them soft yet slightly crisp.
