This is one of the items I will be serving at our Labor Day party. They are ooey/gooey delicious. I made mine with smoked beef short ribs; however, you could experiment with other items, and make it your own. All I can say is that they are, so yummy. FYI: Do not forget to bring a lot of napkins. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make beef essentials: ooey/gooey short rib sliders

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

I am using beef short ribs that I smoked for 16 hours. There are a lot of ways that you can smoke beef… or you could just bake them in the oven, and shred the beef after they cook. As a matter of fact, you can buy shredded beef from you grocer, or a local BBQ restaurant. It is up to you.
Step 3

Here is what my short ribs looked like, after they came out of the smoker.
Step 4

If you are in the market for a good homemade BBQ sauce, this is one of my favorites. However, if I am going “store-bought” one of my favorite brands is Sweet Baby Rays. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/condiment-essentials-tableside-pork-bbq-sauce.html?r=14
Step 5

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 6

Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 300f (150c).
Step 7

Slice the buns in half.
Step 8

Chef’s Tip: Since the bottom of the buns are going to have to hold the sauce, make them a bit thicker than the top.
Step 9

Chef’s Note: These buns came as a group, so I kept them together, and sliced through the middle. After they cook, I will cut them up for serving.
Step 10

Slather the bottom buns, and then add the pickles. As you can see, I like my sliders sloppy.
Step 11

Add the parmesan cheese.
Step 12

Chef’s Note: If you are going to add any additional spices, do it now.
Step 13

Add the colby or cheddar cheese.
Step 14

Add the tops, and then brush with the melted butter.
Step 15

Add to a baking dish, and cover with foil.
Step 16

Place into the preheated oven, and bake until they are warmed through, and the cheese is melted and gooey, about 30 minutes.
Step 17

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 18

Slice, and serve while nice and warm, with some coleslaw or other items on the side. Enjoy.
Step 19

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
