Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 packet au jus mix
- 2 cups (480 ml) water
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C) and position a rack in the center.
- Carefully split slider buns horizontally, creating top and bottom halves, and place bottom pieces in a baking dish.
- Arrange thin slices of roast beef evenly across each bun bottom, ensuring complete coverage.
- Top the roast beef with a single slice of provolone cheese, perfectly centered on each slider.
- Cover the cheese layer with corresponding bun tops, creating compact sandwich units.
- Create a flavor-enhancing glaze by whisking melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat the entire slider surface with the prepared glaze, ensuring even distribution.
- Securely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment for initial baking.
- Bake covered for 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and cheese to begin melting.
- Remove foil and return sliders to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until tops turn golden and cheese becomes fully molten.
- While sliders bake, prepare au jus by combining packet mix with water in a saucepan, bringing to a boil, then reducing to a gentle simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer hot sliders to a serving platter and accompany with warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Pick lean, high-quality roast beef for maximum flavor and tenderness in your sliders.
- Toast bun tops slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess and add extra crunch.
- Replace regular buns with gluten-free versions for a celiac-friendly alternative.
- Customize the au jus with a splash of red wine or beef broth for deeper, richer taste profile.
