# Steps:
01 -
Combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, dijon mustard, paprika, cayenne, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Blend thoroughly until fully incorporated. Set aside.
02 -
Pat steak dry and season generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak to desired doneness, turning once for even browning. Allow steak to rest for at least 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
03 -
In the same skillet, add thinly sliced sweet onions. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring regularly, until onions turn golden brown and are thoroughly caramelized.
04 -
Arrange slider buns open-faced on a sheet pan. Generously spread cowboy butter on both halves. Layer with sliced steak, caramelized onions, and havarti cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cap with top bun, serve immediately, and enjoy.

Customize sliders with your preferred cheese or toppings. Extra cowboy butter makes a versatile spread for other dishes.
