Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) sliced deli roast beef
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Breads and Base:
- 12 slider buns
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 packet au jus mix
- 3 cups (710 milliliters) water
Instructions
- Arrange slider bun bottoms in a greased baking dish, creating a stable foundation for the sandwiches.
- Distribute roast beef slices evenly across the bun bottoms, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer provolone cheese over the roast beef, allowing the cheese to drape naturally.
- Cap the sandwiches with top bun halves, creating a complete slider structure.
- Craft a flavor-packed butter mixture by whisking melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and onion powder until thoroughly combined.
- Liberally coat slider tops with the prepared butter mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Shield sliders with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, creating a steamy environment for melting cheese.
- Remove foil and continue baking 5-7 minutes until cheese bubbles and bun tops transform to a golden-brown hue.
- Simultaneously prepare au jus according to packet instructions, maintaining a warm temperature for serving.
- Optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley for visual appeal and added herbaceous notes.
- Serve immediately alongside warm au jus, inviting guests to dip and savor the rich, layered flavors.
Notes
- Slice roast beef extra thin for melt-in-your-mouth texture that absorbs the butter mixture perfectly.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss or sharp cheddar to customize flavor profiles.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline the assembly process and reduce cooking stress.
- Let sliders rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to help cheese set and flavors meld together.
