Summer-Ready BBQ Beef Sliders and Homemade Potato Salad!
Summer has started and that means you’re gonna need some tasty recipes to enjoy with friends and family. This week we’ve got the perfect thing with these halal BBQ beef sliders that are tender, juicy, and perfect for serving! You can also beat the heat with this homemade potato salad for the perfect summer flavor wombo-combo that’s begging to be brought to your next cookout!
BBQ Beef Sliders Babyyyyy
We’ll save the best for first and get into these sliders. We knew we were going to have a lot of tasty little sandwiches to make with this recipe, so we used 4 pounds of Halal chuck roast for this, and that makes plenty to go around. It’s also a great cut of meat for slow cooking, with that looooong cook time it’ll still come out perfectly tender. If you use a smaller amount of beef, then this is also a great recipe to toss into an instant pot and save yourself a lot of time.
We tossed it into a slow cooker with a chopped yellow onion and few simple seasonings like brown sugar, chili powder, and of course some honey BBQ sauce just to impart that beef with a little bit of flavor while it cooks and we’ll add more sauce later when it’s shredded.
Simple Sliders Perfect for Serving
When the beef is done, it should be oh so perfectly tender that it can be shredded with a couple forks and mixed in with more BBQ sauce. As tempting as it is to dive into this now, instead spread it over a 24 pack of rolls that you’ve sliced in half, top with some crispy onions, and cheddar cheese slices, and bake it for a few more minutes until it’s golden brown and melty.
These are so tasty and so easy to make, and they make for the perfect thing to serve up to friends and family when you’re all getting together this summer!
The Perfect Potato Salad
If you’re looking for a side to serve with these sliders, then this homemade potato salad is the perfect and refreshingly cool compliment to your tangy BBQ. This is great to make while the beef cooks, so you’ll have plenty of time to get it made and keep refrigerated before you serve it.
It’s mostly just a matter of chopping all the veggies that will go into this: potatoes, celery, some green onion, and pickles. A pot of boiling water is all you need to get the potatoes fork tender and boil some eggs for about 10 minutes before mixing everything in a bowl with some mayonnaise and mustard.
Taste this throughout so you can get this to your personal preference. We ended up adding more mustard, salt, pepper, and pickles to ours as we mixed and tested, so don’t be afraid to get in there and try it out to get the best possible potato salad.
The Ultimate Summer Recipe: Confirmed?!
I love recipes like this because it has it all, the sliders are the perfect main dish, and the potato salad is just what you need to add some contrasting flavor while being cool and refreshing. Both are great on their own, but together, they’re the perfect summer combo! This is a recipe made for entertaining guests, so be sure you share these with friends and family that love tremendous flavor, get out and enjoy the weather this summer, and we hope to see you again when you check out another of our Halal recipes.
