- The Decadent Garlic Butter Glaze:
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter: Melted completely.

đšâđł Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep the Slider Canvas
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for effortless cleanup. Take your block of 12 Hawaiian rolls and use a long serrated bread knife to slice the entire sheet completely in half horizontally, creating one large top slab and one bottom slab. Place the bottom slab directly onto the foil. đđ
2. Sear the Steak Bites
Heat your olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Toss your tiny steak cubes with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Once the skillet is smoking hot, drop the steak in. Sear undisturbed for 2 minutes to build a rich brown crust, then flip and cook for 1 minute more until just browned on the outside but still tender. Stir in your diced onions for the last minute to absorb the juices. Remove from the heat. đłđ„
