Cheesy French Dip Sliders
Tender roast beef and provolone cheese melt inside soft slider buns, with sweet caramelized onions and a rich au jus sauce for dipping. Perfect warm and comforting sliders.
Equipment
- 1 pan for caramelizing onions
- 1 small saucepan for au jus sauce
- 1 baking dish (optional)
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls recommended
- 1 lb deli roast beef thinly sliced
- 8 to 10 slices provolone cheese
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- ½ cup crispy fried onions optional
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add sliced onions. Cook slowly for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then keep warm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice slider buns in half, keeping them connected if possible, and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
- Layer roast beef, caramelized onions, and provolone cheese on the bottom buns, then cover with the top buns.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until tops are golden and cheese has melted.
- Optionally brush tops with melted butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and crispy fried onions. Serve warm with au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Use Gruyère or Swiss cheese for a classic twist.
- Add horseradish sauce for extra spice.
- Toast buns before assembly to avoid sogginess.
