About 5 mins before Brazi Bites are done baking, combine butter with pressed garlic clove.
Remove Brazi Bites from oven and carefully cut in half like slider buns.
Apply garlic butter onto the inside of Brazi Bite halves and toast on pan – set aside.
Increase heat to high, add 1 tbs oil. Remove steak from juices and spread steak in an even layer in pan, let brown for a couple of minutes, then flip, season with salt and pepper, and finish browning / cooking steak.
One steak is done cooking, stir in caramelized onions and remove from heat.
Build sliders by spreading chimichurri on bottom bun, top with steak, cheese whiz, and top bun.
