Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 g) roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Bread and Base:
- 12 slider buns
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cornstarch (optional for thicker au jus)
Instructions
- Arrange slider bun bases in a lightly greased baking dish, creating a foundation for the layered sandwich.
- Generously pile tender roast beef across the bun bases, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully distribute provolone cheese over the roast beef layer, allowing slight overlap.
- Crown the cheese layer with matching slider bun tops.
- Craft a savory glaze by whisking melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Lavishly brush the prepared glaze across the slider tops, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil and bake at 350F (175C) for 20 minutes, creating a steamy cooking environment.
- Uncover the sliders and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes until achieving a golden, slightly crisp exterior.
- Simultaneously, simmer beef broth in a saucepan, optionally thickening with cornstarch for a more robust au jus.
- Present the warm sliders alongside the rich au jus, inviting guests to dip and savor each bite.
Notes
- Choose high-quality roast beef for maximum flavor and tenderness in your sliders.
- Customize the cheese by swapping provolone with Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack for different taste profiles.
- Enhance the butter mixture by adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra depth and aroma.
- Make sliders gluten-free by using gluten-free slider buns and ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
