Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) thinly sliced beef sirloin
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Breads and Other Ingredients:
- 12 slider buns
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) for optimal slider preparation.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature, then rapidly sear thinly sliced beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until meat loses its pink color, approximately 4-5 minutes. Transfer cooked meat to a separate plate.
- Using the identical skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until they become tender and develop golden edges, around 5-6 minutes. Introduce minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Reintegrate the cooked beef into the vegetable mixture, splash with Worcestershire sauce, and thoroughly combine all ingredients.
- Carefully halve the slider buns, positioning bottom sections on a baking sheet. Distribute the savory beef and vegetable mixture evenly across each bun base.
- Layer a provolone cheese slice atop each slider, then crown with corresponding bun tops.
- Generously brush bun surfaces with melted butter for enhanced golden coloration.
- Shield sliders loosely with aluminum foil, then bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 5 more minutes until cheese melts completely and buns transform to a rich golden hue.
- Extract from oven, optionally garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
Notes
- Slice beef ultra-thin for tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that absorbs seasonings perfectly.
- Swap beef with portobello mushrooms or plant-based protein for vegetarian and vegan-friendly alternatives.
- Pat meat dry before cooking to ensure crispy edges and prevent soggy, steamed meat during sautéing.
- Choose soft, fresh slider buns that can absorb the delicious juices without falling apart or becoming too soggy.
