These savory corned beef sliders with crunchy cabbage slaw combine tender corned beef and a tangy, crisp slaw on soft slider buns for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced corned beef (store-bought deli-style or leftover homemade)
  • 12 small soft slider buns (King’s Hawaiian recommended)
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (light or dairy-free optional)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing buns)
  • Optional toppings: sliced pickles, Swiss cheese, spicy mustard

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded green and red cabbage with julienned carrot. Toss gently to mix.
  2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate while preparing the rest.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add corned beef slices in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes per side until warmed and slightly caramelized. Work in batches if needed.
  5. Brush insides of slider buns with melted butter. Toast buns face down in skillet or on baking sheet until golden and slightly crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Assemble sliders by layering bottom bun, warm corned beef, a generous scoop of cabbage slaw, optional toppings, and top bun.
  7. Serve immediately while buns are warm and slaw is crisp.

Notes

Do not overload sliders to avoid messiness. Shred cabbage thinly for best texture. Toast buns to a light golden crust for optimal flavor and texture. Warm corned beef gently to keep it tender. Make slaw ahead to meld flavors but keep it refrigerated to maintain crunch. For melty cheese, add cheese on corned beef during last 30 seconds of warming and cover skillet briefly.
