- 6–8 slider buns or mini brioche buns
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into small chunks

- 1 tbsp butter or oil (for searing)
- 6–8 slices cheddar cheese or 1 cup shredded cheddar

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

- Season steak chunks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak until browned and cooked to your liking. Set aside.

- Butter the cut sides of the slider buns and toast on a skillet until golden.

Notes
- Sirloin or ribeye works best for juicy steak bites.
- Cheddar can be swapped with mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack.
- Customize with toppings like caramelized onions, pickles, or jalapeños.
- Reheat in oven or skillet to preserve texture; avoid microwaving buns.
- Sauce and steak can be made ahead and stored separately.
