Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) thinly sliced roast beef
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Bread:
- 12 slider buns
Seasonings and Sauce:
- 0.5 cup (120 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), creating an ideal environment for transforming slider buns into a mouthwatering appetizer.
- Carefully halve the slider buns, positioning the bottom halves in a greased baking dish to form the foundation of your culinary creation.
- Distribute roast beef evenly across the bun bases, ensuring a consistent layer of savory meat that will delight the palate.
- Strategically place provolone cheese over the roast beef, allowing it to melt and create a creamy, rich texture.
- Crown the layered buns with their top halves, preparing them for a flavor-enhancing butter mixture.
- Craft a robust butter blend by whisking together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.
- Generously brush the aromatic butter mixture across the slider tops, infusing them with deep, complex flavors.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and warm through.
- Uncover the dish and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the bun tops transform into a golden, crispy masterpiece and the cheese melts completely.
- Simultaneously prepare the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Season the au jus with salt and pepper, then simmer for 5-7 minutes to develop a rich, robust dipping sauce.
- Remove the sliders from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately, accompanied by the warm au jus, inviting guests to dip and savor each delectable bite.
Notes
- Choose high-quality, thinly sliced roast beef from the deli counter for maximum tenderness and rich flavor that melts in your mouth.
- Experiment with different melting cheeses like Swiss, cheddar, or Gruyère to customize the slider’s taste profile and accommodate dietary preferences.
- Brush the butter mixture generously and evenly to ensure each slider gets maximum flavor and achieves a golden, crispy top.
- Assemble sliders ahead of time and refrigerate, covered, for up to 24 hours before baking to save preparation time during busy gatherings.
