- 2 lbs beef chuck roast - 1/2 cup honey - 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari) - 4 cloves garlic - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes - 1 cup beef broth - 12 slider buns - 1 cup coleslaw mix - 1/4 cup sliced green onions For this recipe, I focus on simple yet bold flavors. The beef chuck roast is perfect because it becomes tender and juicy after slow cooking. Honey adds a sweet touch, while soy sauce brings the umami. I love using garlic and ginger to give the dish depth. Black pepper adds warmth, and crushed red pepper flakes can bring some heat if you like. Beef broth keeps everything moist and flavorful. The slider buns are essential. They hold all that goodness well. Coleslaw mix adds crunch and freshness, making each bite delightful. Finally, green onions give a pop of color and bright flavor. Gather these ingredients, and you are ready to create a tasty treat everyone will enjoy. First, let's season the beef. Take your beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks. Sprinkle black pepper over the beef. If you like some heat, add crushed red pepper flakes too. This will give your sliders a nice kick. Next, prepare your slow cooker. Make sure it is clean and ready. You want to set it on a flat surface. This helps the heat spread evenly while cooking. Now, let's make the sauce. In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add one cup of beef broth for extra flavor. Whisk everything together until it blends well. This sweet and savory sauce will soak into the beef and make it tasty. Time to slow cook! Place the seasoned beef chunks into the slow cooker. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the beef. Make sure every piece is coated well. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low. Cook for 6 to 8 hours. The beef should become fork-tender. When it's done, remove the beef from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker. Stir it well with the sauce to mix all the flavors. Your slider filling is ready! - Serve these sliders with crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad. - Pair with a light beverage like iced tea or lemonade for balance. - Serve warm for the best taste and texture. Aim for a temperature around 160°F for the beef. - To ensure the beef is tender, cook it on low for 6-8 hours. This slow method breaks down the meat's fibers. - You can use chicken or pork if you want a different protein. Adjust cooking times slightly for these meats. - Toast the slider buns for extra flavor. This adds a nice crunch and warmth. - Keep toppings like coleslaw and green onions in separate bowls. This keeps them fresh and crisp until serving. {{image_2}} You can switch up the meat for these sliders. Use chicken or pork instead of beef. Chicken breast works great, too. Just keep the cooking time the same. If you use pork shoulder, the sliders will have a lovely flavor. Both options stay tender when cooked in the slow cooker. You can still use the same honey garlic sauce with these proteins. Want some heat? Add more spice with peppers! You can use jalapeños or diced serrano peppers. Just mix them in with the beef. If you like it extra spicy, add crushed red pepper flakes. Start with a small amount. You can always add more if needed. This can make your sliders exciting and flavorful. For a healthier twist, try whole grain buns. These buns add fiber and nutrients. You can also use a low-sugar sauce. This will help reduce sugar in your meal. Look for sauces with less than 5 grams of sugar. You can still get that sweet flavor without the extra calories. This way, you enjoy your sliders and feel good about what you eat. To store leftovers, let the sliders cool down first. Place them in an airtight container. You can keep them in the fridge for up to three days. If you only have the meat left, store it separately for better flavor. Always make sure to seal the container tight. This will help keep the beef juicy and tasty. For freezing sliders, it’s best to freeze the beef and buns separately. Let the beef cool before packing it in freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible. You can freeze the beef for up to three months. Buns can also be frozen, but they don't hold up as well. If you freeze them, wrap them in plastic wrap. This will help prevent freezer burn. When reheating, use the oven or a stovetop for best results. For the oven, preheat it to 350°F. Place the beef in a baking dish and cover with foil. Heat for about 15-20 minutes. On the stovetop, add the beef to a pan with a little water. Heat over low until warm. Avoid the microwave if you can. It can dry out the beef and make the buns soggy. These sliders take about 6 to 8 hours to cook on low. The beef should become very tender during this time. You want it to shred easily with a fork. If you set it on high, it may cook in about 4 to 5 hours, but low is best for flavor. Yes, you can make the sauce ahead. Mix the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and beef broth in a bowl. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container. This will keep for about 3 days. It helps to save time when you are ready to cook. If you don’t have beef broth, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth. Both options will still give a nice flavor. You can even use water and add a little soy sauce for taste.
