Method

  1. 1

    Cut the chuck roast into several large chunks.

  2. 2

    Drizzle the Japanese barbecue sauce over the beef chunks, using it as a binder. Sprinkle generously with garlic powder, followed by the barbecue rub, ensuring all sides are coated.

  3. 3

    Place the seasoned beef chunks on a smoker or grill set up for indirect heat. Smoke until a dark bark forms on the outside.

  4. 4

    Transfer the smoked beef chunks to an aluminum foil pan. Add several pats of butter on top of the meat.

  5. 5

    Pour in the beef broth.

  6. 6

    Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

  7. 7

    Return the covered pan to the smoker/grill and continue to cook until the meat is fall-apart tender.

  8. 8

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the smoker and let it rest slightly. Using gloved hands, shred the beef, mixing it with the juices in the pan.

  9. 9

    While the beef finishes cooking, sauté the sliced red onions in a pan with butter until softened and caramelized.

  10. 10

    Add the chopped green onions and cook for another minute.

  11. 11

    Separate the top and bottom halves of the slider buns. Place the bottom half on a sheet of parchment paper. Spread a layer of burger sauce over the buns.

  12. 12

    Add a layer of cheddar cheese slices, followed by a generous amount of the shredded beef.

  13. 13

    Top the beef with the sautéed onion mixture. Add a layer of provolone cheese slices.

  14. 14

    Place the top half of the slider buns on top.

  15. 15

    Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.

  16. 16

    The sliders can be placed back on the grill or in an oven to melt the cheese. Once melted, slice into individual sliders and serve immediately.
