Ingredients
  

Slider Components
  • 12 slider buns Hawaiian sweet rolls recommended
  • 1 lb roast beef deli style, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese thick cut
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking onions
Butter Glaze & Dip
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 cup beef broth warmed, for dipping
  • 1 pinch Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Skillet
  • Serrated bread knife
  • Silicone basting brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook slowly until caramelized (about 15-20 minutes). Stir in minced garlic during the last minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Without separating the rolls, use a serrated knife to slice the entire sheet of slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
  4. Layer half of the provolone cheese over the bottom buns. Evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef over the cheese. Spread the caramelized onions on top of the beef, then add the remaining provolone cheese. Place the top half of the buns over the cheese.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this glaze generously over the top of the slider buns.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5-10 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately alongside warm beef broth for dipping.

Notes

To make ahead, assemble the sandwiches in the dish but wait to apply the butter glaze until right before baking to prevent soggy buns.
