Sticky Teriyaki Beef Sliders with Sesame Slaw & Sweet Potato Fries

Salmon-cut beef, a lean and tender part of the silverside, is often overlooked—but it’s the perfect candidate for slow roasting and shredding. In this recipe, we slow-cook it in a homemade teriyaki glaze until pull-apart tender, then pile it high into toasted brioche buns with a zingy sesame slaw and crisp sweet potato fries. Perfect for family dinners, parties, or turning leftovers into delicious lunchbox sliders!

Ingredients (Serves 4–6):

For the beef:

• 1 kg salmon cut beef joint

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 2 tbsp mirin or rice vinegar

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

• 1 tsp cornflour (optional for thickening)

• Salt & pepper

• 250 ml beef stock or water

For the sesame slaw:

• 1/4 red cabbage, thinly sliced

• 1/4 white cabbage, thinly sliced

• 1 carrot, grated

• 1 tbsp mayo

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice

• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

• Pinch salt

For sweet potato fries:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & sliced into fries

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• Salt & pepper

To serve:

• 6–8 brioche slider buns (or mini burger buns)

• Optional: pickled onions, extra sesame seeds, sriracha mayo, or sliced cucumbers

Instructions:

1. Cook the beef:

   • Preheat oven to 160°C (fan).

   • Mix soy, sugar, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and stock.

   • Season the beef with salt and pepper, place it in a snug roasting dish, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly with foil.

   • Roast for 3 hours, turning halfway through. Remove foil for the final 20 minutes to allow the glaze to reduce.

   • Shred the beef with two forks and toss in the reduced sauce. (Thicken with cornflour if needed.)

2. Make sesame slaw:

   • Toss cabbages and carrots with mayo, vinegar, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Chill until serving.

3. Roast sweet potato fries:

   • Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.

   • Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway until crispy at edges.

4. Toast the buns:

   • Slice slider buns and toast under a grill or in a dry pan until lightly golden.

Seasoning & Serving: 

Season the beef with just salt and pepper before roasting—let the teriyaki glaze provide the punch. To build your sliders, layer shredded beef, slaw, and optional extras like sriracha mayo or pickled onions in buns. Serve with sweet potato fries and extra glaze or dipping sauce on the side. Great for family meals, game nights, or leftovers the next day.
