Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb deli roast beef, thinly sliced
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Bread:
- 12 slider rolls or Hawaiian sweet rolls
Seasoning and Sauce:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly greasing a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Carefully split slider rolls horizontally, creating a bottom and top layer. Arrange bottom halves in the prepared baking dish, layering with roast beef and provolone cheese.
- Create a flavorful butter glaze by whisking melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and dried onion flakes until well combined.
- Generously brush the prepared butter mixture over the slider tops, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor and golden-brown color.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until cheese melts and tops turn golden.
- Simultaneously prepare the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a saucepan, simmering over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Once fully cooked, remove sliders from the oven and plate immediately. Serve hot alongside the freshly prepared au jus for dipping, optionally garnishing with fresh thyme for an aromatic touch.
Notes
- Swap roast beef with shredded chicken or pulled pork for a versatile protein option that keeps the dish exciting and adaptable to different tastes.
- Use gluten-free slider rolls and check Worcestershire sauce ingredients to make this recipe completely gluten-free for those with dietary restrictions.
- Enhance flavor intensity by letting the butter mixture sit on the sliders for 15-20 minutes before baking, allowing the seasonings to deeply penetrate the bread.
- Prepare au jus in advance and store in a warm thermos to maintain temperature and ensure a consistently hot dipping experience during serving.
