Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound deli roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Base Bread:
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls work great)
Seasoning and Sauce Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- 1 cup beef broth (for au jus)
- 1 packet au jus mix (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Carefully slice the slider bun collection horizontally, keeping them connected as a single unit, and nestle the bottom halves into a prepared baking dish.
- Create an initial layer of provolone cheese across the bun foundation, ensuring even coverage.
- Distribute a uniform layer of succulent roast beef atop the cheese base, followed by a complementary layer of remaining provolone slices.
- Crown the layered creation with the corresponding top bun halves, completing the slider assembly.
- Craft a flavorful butter blend by whisking together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme in a mixing bowl.
- Generously brush the herbed butter mixture across the exterior of the slider ensemble, ensuring thorough and consistent coating.
- Drape the baking dish with aluminum foil, then place in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes to initiate the melting process.
- Remove the foil covering and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until the slider tops transform into a golden-brown landscape and the cheese becomes luxuriously molten.
- Simultaneously prepare the au jus by following packet instructions or gently heating beef broth on the stovetop.
- Present the sliders while warm, accompanied by the rich au jus in a separate serving vessel for personalized dipping enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the meat by using leftover roast beef, rotisserie chicken, or pulled pork for variety.
- Swap provolone with Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese to change flavor profiles.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium beef broth and mustard for health-conscious guests.
