🧾 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the sliders:
- 12 halal brioche slider buns or soft dinner rolls
- 600 g halal ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon halal Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
- 6–8 slices halal cheddar cheese (cut in half)
For the buttery topping:
- 60 g butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or thyme
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
🔪 Step-by-Step Preparation
1️⃣ Prepare the Beef Filling
In a large bowl, combine the halal ground beef with chopped onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix gently using your hands or a spoon. Do not overmix, as this can make the meat dense and dry.
Shape the meat into a large rectangle roughly the same size as your baking dish or the buns assembled together.
2️⃣ Cook the Meat
You can cook the beef in two ways:
Option 1 – Pan Method
- Heat a large pan over medium heat
- Cook the meat until fully browned
- Drain excess fat
Option 2 – Oven Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Bake the meat for 15–20 minutes
- Drain any excess grease
Once cooked, place cheese slices evenly on top of the hot beef and allow them to melt slightly.
3️⃣ Prepare the Buns
Using a long knife, slice all the buns horizontally as one block. This keeps them aligned and makes assembly easier.
- Place the bottom half of the buns into a greased baking dish
- Spread the beef and melted cheese evenly over the buns
- Cover with the top half of the buns
4️⃣ Make the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix:
- Melted butter
- Garlic powder
- Dried parsley or thyme
- Sesame seeds
Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns. This step gives the sliders their signature glossy, golden finish and incredible aroma.
5️⃣ Bake the Sliders
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes
- Remove foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes until the tops are golden brown
Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
