Main Ingredients:
- 12 slider buns, halved
- 1 pound (454 grams) sliced roast beef
- 12 slices of provolone or cheddar cheese
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) softened unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Garnish:
- Freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- Arrange slider bun bottoms in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a uniform base for the sandwiches.
- Distribute roast beef slices evenly across the bun bottoms, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place a cheese slice atop each beef layer, allowing for optimal melting during baking.
- Cap the sliders with the top halves of the buns, completing the sandwich structure.
- Combine softened butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder in a mixing bowl, whisking until ingredients form a smooth, cohesive spread.
- Generously brush the prepared butter mixture over the slider tops, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Shield the baking dish with aluminum foil and slide into a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the bun tops turn golden and the cheese melts completely.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley immediately before serving, adding a vibrant touch and subtle herbaceous flavor.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality deli roast beef for maximum flavor and tenderness, ensuring each bite is succulent and delicious.
- Swap traditional beef with shredded chicken or pulled pork for a versatile alternative that caters to different protein preferences.
- Use gluten-free slider buns to make this recipe celiac-friendly without compromising on taste or texture.
- Let sliders rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld, creating a more cohesive and enjoyable eating experience.
