Mercy, Mercy, Me! Dub Shack BBQ Presents Prime Rib Sliders

Get ready to class up the tailgate even more than normal!

Our thirteenth wedding anniversary was recent, and since I had the prime rib I had smoked and put away in the refrigerator largely to be forgotten or eaten that weekend, I figured it was high time to repurpose one of those premier cuts of beef into something edible for the three of us to enjoy as a midweek meal. [Y'all are seeing this as a T4E recipe due to the time. -ACedA] 

INGREDIENTS 

One beef prime rib, sliced (this one was 5.5 lbs)

Swine Life BBQ's Mississippi Grit and Grind rubs 

Half an onion, sliced thinly

Two sticks of butter

Provolone cheese

Beef broth (au jus works as well)

Slider buns

Everything Bagel rub

STEP ONE. Using the leftover prime rib - and bonus points if it is boneless for this one time only, slice it as thinly as possible without going full paper thin as a slice of roast beef from a lowly eye of round can be. Next, slice the onion in half and further into the slimmer rings and set them aside briefly; in the meantime, melt one-half of a stick of butter before adding the onion to the hot skillet. Some people like using peppers or mushrooms and feel free to make it your own as these sliders are for the tailgate party; in this application, only the onions are needed at the moment. 

STEP TWO. As the onions are being sautéed, warm up the sliced beef in beef broth for no more than 30 minutes in the oven at 250 degrees because it will catch a blasting of heat in the very end. To reinforce the flavor, add a moderate shaking of both bottles of Swine Life BBQ's Mississippi Grit and Grind runs and allow them to play together in the oven.

Set aside for the build.

STEP THREE. Spilt the rolls in half and butter the bottom half following which add the Provolone cheese, the prime rib slices, those sautéed onions, and its crown. [Strictly optional: When you melt the second stick of butter to add to the top half of the slider buns, add a nice amount of Everything Bagel to the party and slather accordingly. Your attendees will thank you later. -Friendly Pitmaster] 

While we pretty up the sliders, return to the oven and set it to broil for approximately 30 seconds. Any longer, the top buns might burn and otherwise ruin the look of the best spread in the parking lot.

Serve warm after a fifteen minute resting period.

My thoughts: Man!

As we embark on the final Tailgating For Everyone season together, let us head outside to make good food and better memories. Barbecue does not have to be a great ordeal, and with a bit of effort, legends can be created. Y'all be blessed, be safe, be good to each other, and tell everyone that every day is a GREAT day for Dub Shack BBQ!
