Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 package slider buns (12 count)
  • 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced roast beef
  • 8 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups beef broth (for au jus)
  • Optional toppings: Caramelized onions, horseradish sauce, or Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Slider Buns:
    • Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping them connected if possible.
    • Place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Layer the Roast Beef and Cheese:
    • Arrange the thinly sliced roast beef evenly over the bottom buns.
    • Top with slices of provolone or Swiss cheese.
  4. Add the Top Buns:
    • Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese and beef.
  5. Prepare the Butter Mixture:
    • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  6. Brush the Butter Mixture:
    • Brush the butter mixture generously over the top of the slider buns.
  7. Bake to Perfection:
    • Bake the sliders for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
  8. Prepare the Au Jus:
    • While the sliders are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan until warm. This will serve as the dipping sauce.
  9. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly.
    • Cut into individual sliders and serve with the warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

  1. Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh roast beef and real cheese make a big difference.
  2. Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the sliders to prevent the buns from becoming too crispy.
  3. Experiment with Cheese: Try different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, for a unique twist.
  4. Make Them Ahead: Assemble the sliders and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
  5. Add a Dipping Sauce: Serve with horseradish sauce, Dijon mustard, or extra au jus for added flavor.
  6. Customize the Filling: Add caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
  7. Serve Immediately: These sliders are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still gooey.
