Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) sliced deli roast beef
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices Swiss cheese (halved)
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) mayonnaise (optional)
Au Jus Components:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) for optimal cooking temperature.
- Carefully halve the slider buns horizontally, positioning the bottom halves in a generously greased baking dish.
- Optional: Apply a thin layer of mayonnaise across the bottom bun surfaces for added richness.
- Arrange a generous layer of roast beef, followed by Swiss cheese atop the prepared bun bases.
- Gently crown the sliders with their corresponding top bun sections.
- Create a flavorful butter mixture by combining melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional sesame seeds in a mixing bowl.
- Generously brush the prepared butter mixture across the entire surface of the slider buns, ensuring even coverage.
- Shield the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and ingredients to heat through.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese becomes perfectly melted and buns turn a delightful golden brown.
- Simultaneously prepare the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan, simmering over medium heat for 5 minutes to develop rich flavors.
- Present the warm sliders alongside the aromatic au jus, inviting guests to dip and savor each bite.
Notes
- Swap roast beef with shredded chicken or pulled pork for a protein variation that keeps the slider’s delicious essence.
- Sprinkle extra sesame seeds on top after baking for added crunch and visual appeal.
- Use gluten-free slider buns and ensure Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free to make this recipe celiac-friendly.
- Prepare au jus ahead of time and keep warm in a small slow cooker for convenient serving at parties or gatherings.
