Instructions

Preparing the Slow-Cooked Beef:

  • Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks – 3 to 4 inches in size.
  • Preheat a large pot or deep sauté pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of avocado oil.
  • Season the beef generously with sea salt, then add to the hot pan. Brown the beef in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan. Brown the beef on all sides, then remove it into a separate bowl.
  • Into the same pan, add the sliced onion and sauté over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Next, add all the seasonings and spices: sea salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste, chili powder, paprika, coriander, cumin, sugar, garlic, onion, and bay leaves. Stir and cook the spices for a few minutes.
  • Pour in the water and return the beef back into the pan.
  • Bring the water up to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover the pan.
  • Cook the beef over low heat for 2 hours, until it’s very tender and falls apart easily when pulled with a fork. Keep the beef warm until ready to make the sliders.

Making the Horseradish Spread:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and horseradish. You can adjust the amount of horseradish to taste.
  • Season the spread with salt and ground black pepper, to taste. Add the dried garlic and smoked paprika, along with the fresh chopped chives and parsley.
  • Stir everything together and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

How to Make Beef Sliders:

  • To assemble the sandwiches, start by preheating the oven broiler on the ‘high’ setting.
  • Remove the cooked beef from the broth into a large mixing bowl. Use tongs and a fork to finely shred the beef; smaller pieces will fit better onto the sliders.
  • Use a knife to split open the dinner rolls, if needed. Arrange the dinner rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or non-stick foil. Spread a generous amount of horseradish spread onto both halves of each roll.
  • Add a generous amount of shredded beef onto one half of each dinner roll. Cut the cheese into small squares or triangles and add a slice or two over the beef.
  • Broil the sandwiches in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
  • Sandwich the sliders together and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Fill small ramekins with the hot beef broth and serve on the side with the sliders.
  • These beef sliders are best enjoyed warm with warm broth.
