Roast Beef Sliders

Ingredients

• 500g braising steak or roast beef joint
• 1 large onion or a couple of Roscoff onions
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 pack brioche buns 
• Hot stuff horseradish
• 80g rocket leaves
• Strong Cheddar Cheese
• Salt and pepper for seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil (or any available cooking oil)
  Serves approx. 8 sliders.

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-assisted or Gas Mark 4).
2. Season the braising steak or roast beef with salt and pepper. Rub the meat with olive oil and crushed garlic.
3. Place the beef in a roasting tin. Cut the onions into wedges and scatter around the beef. Roast in the oven for about 1 hour for medium-rare (or longer, depending on your preference). Baste occasionally with the cooking juices.
4. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. This makes the beef more tender and juicy.
5. Slice the brioche buns in half and lightly toast them.
6. Thinly slice the roast beef.
7. Spread a small amount of horseradish on the bottom half of each bun. Place a few slices of beef on top, followed by a handful of rocket leaves and cheddar cheese if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.
8. Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve immediately.

These roast beef sliders are perfect for a festive buffet or a casual Christmas gathering. Enjoy!
