Served with warm, savory au jus for dipping, these sliders deliver juicy, rich flavors perfect for game day, casual gatherings, or quick dinners.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced roast beef – about 1 lb
  • Soft fresh slider buns – 12 buns
  • Provolone or Swiss cheese slices – 8 to 12 slices
  • Au jus (beef broth or drippings) – 2 cups
  • Butter – 3 tablespoons, melted
  • Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon

Optional Ingredients

  • Caramelized onions – 1 cup (optional)
  • Worcestershire sauce – 1 teaspoon (for au jus)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Au Jus: Heat 2 cups of beef broth or make your own au jus by combining roast beef drippings, beef bouillon (optional), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and a splash (about 1 teaspoon) of Worcestershire sauce. Keep the au jus warm for dipping later.
  2. Toast the Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping them attached for a pull-apart style. Mix melted butter with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and brush the insides of the buns. Toast in a skillet or oven until golden and slightly crispy.
  3. Layer the Beef and Cheese: Evenly arrange a generous layer of thinly sliced roast beef on the bottom half of the buns. Top with provolone or Swiss cheese slices, ensuring all areas are covered for a cheesy bite.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Loosely cover the assembled sliders with foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and beef is warmed through.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Remove from oven, place top halves of the buns back on, and separate sliders by slicing between buns. Serve immediately with small bowls of warm au jus for dipping to enjoy juicy, savory bites.

Notes

  • Slice roast beef thinly to ensure tenderness and better absorption of au jus.
  • Use fresh, soft slider buns to prevent sogginess and for easy handling.
  • Keep au jus warm when serving so it enhances every bite.
  • Toasting buns adds crunch and helps avoid sogginess during dipping.
  • Cover sliders with foil when melting cheese to achieve an even, gooey texture.
