Ingredients

Steak:

1-2 Ribeye Steaks
3 tbsp Bourbon Prime
FYR BLK Hot Sauce binder

Lobster:

2 cups Lobster Claw Meat
3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Seafood Rub
4 Garlic Cloves minced
2 tbsp Chopped Chives

Sliders:

1 Slider Roll
8-10 Provolone Cheese Slices
Everything Bagel Rub
Melted Butter

Instructions

Slather your steaks with oil and generously season with my Bourbon Prime Rub or your favorite steak rub. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 375F) for two zone indirect cooking.
Next, add your steaks to the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side or until they are 120F. Once the steaks are done, pull off to let rest for 10 minutes. When done resting, slice the steaks.
Add a cast iron skillet to the grill with butter to melt. Add the lobster meat, minced garlic and seafood rub to the skillet and mix together. Cook for 5 minutes over a low simmer, then pull off and top with chopped chives.
While keeping the slider rolls together, slice your slider rolls in half (horizontally) so there is a top side and bottom side.
Add the bottom side into a foil bin or cooking safe skillet. Add a layer of cheese, sliced steak, cooked lobster meat and finish with a layer of more sliced cheese plus the top part of the buns.
Gently brush a little butter over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with everything bagel rub.
Get your grill to a two zone medium high heat (around 350-375F) for indirect cooking. Add your sliders in the foil bin on to the smoker to cook until they are golden brown & crispy (about 10-12 minutes). Once done, pull the sliders off and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Slice up your sliders and serve with the cowboy butter for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

Cowboy Butter

If you want to take these sliders to the next level, serve them with cowboy butter for dipping! Cowboy butter is really just a catch-all term for a spicy garlic and herb butter. To make my favorite cowboy butter, which I've used with grilled ribeyes, mix together 1 cup melted butter, juice from 1 medium lemon, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 1.5 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder and kosher salt to taste (I usually like 1/2 tsp salt) in a small bowl. Serve and enjoy with these sliders or really any surf and turf recipe!
