Perfect for a crowd, these sliders are a fun and easy appetizer or meal option for game days, parties, or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 12 slider buns (soft, such as Hawaiian or regular dinner rolls)
- 4 oz provolone cheese (sliced)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 packet onion soup mix (or 1/2 cup homemade caramelized onions)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
-
Prepare the au jus: In a small saucepan, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion soup mix, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the sliders: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom half in a baking dish. Layer slices of roast beef on top of the buns, followed by slices of provolone cheese.
-
Prepare the butter mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with a little bit of the au jus sauce and drizzle it over the top of the sliders. Add a little more salt and pepper if desired.
-
Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes for a golden brown top.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and slice between the sliders. Serve with the remaining au jus sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can use any cheese of your choice (Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar) if you prefer something other than provolone.
- If you like a bit of spice, consider adding a few slices of pickled jalapeños inside the sliders.
- For extra flavor, you can caramelize your own onions instead of using onion soup mix.
