Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) deli-style roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 12 slider buns
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) Swiss or provolone cheese (sliced or shredded)
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Optional Topping:
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Assemble the foundation by arranging slider bun bottoms in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a uniform base for the sandwich layers.
- Distribute roast beef evenly across the bun bases, ensuring complete and consistent meat coverage.
- Layer cheese over the roast beef, allowing it to melt and create a rich, savory foundation.
- Crown the meat and cheese with the top halves of the slider buns, creating compact sandwich units.
- Craft a flavor-enhancing glaze by whisking melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder until thoroughly combined.
- Generously brush the glaze across the slider bun tops, ensuring complete and even coverage, and sprinkle poppy seeds for additional texture and visual appeal.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and warm through.
- Uncover the sliders and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes to achieve golden-brown tops and perfectly melted cheese.
- Simultaneously prepare the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder in a saucepan, simmering gently to develop deep, rich flavors.
- Plate the hot sliders alongside the warm au jus, inviting guests to dip and savor each flavorful bite.
Notes
- Choose lean roast beef to reduce fat content while maintaining flavor intensity.
- Swap regular buns with gluten-free options for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Experiment with plant-based cheese and meat alternatives for vegetarian versions.
- Prepare au jus ahead of time and store in refrigerator to enhance meal prep efficiency.
