⏱️ Total time: 30 minutes

🍽 Servings: 8 sliders

🥩 Protein: ~20–22g per slider

Ingredients

For the Steak

• 1¼ lb flank, sirloin, or NY strip steak
• 1 tsp kosher salt + ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil

For the Chimichurri

• ¾ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small red chile or ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp kosher salt + black pepper to taste

For Assembly

• 8 low-carb slider buns (see bread options below)
• 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese, halved
• ¼ cup light or olive-oil mayo + 1–2 tsp chipotle or sriracha
• Caramelized or pickled onions (optional)

Bread Options

• Hero Slider Buns (preferred low-carb option)
• Lettuce “buns” using butter lettuce or romaine leaves
• Egg-white wraps (Egglife) — quartered for mini sliders
• Keto buns such as Sola, Franz, or ThinSlim
• Mini portobello caps, roasted and patted dry

Instructions

1. Make the chimichurri: Combine parsley, oregano, garlic, chile, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Let sit 10–15 minutes.
2. Cook the steak: Pat dry, season, and sear in a hot skillet for 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare). Rest 8–10 minutes, then slice thinly.
3. Toast buns: Lightly toast Hero or chosen buns. For egg wraps, warm in a dry pan; lettuce should be crisp and dry.
4. Assemble: Add steak and cheese to each bun. Broil briefly to melt cheese if desired.
5. Finish: Top with chimichurri, a drizzle of spicy mayo, and onions. Serve immediately.
