Ingredients

• 2 lb. thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin
• 1 tsp. Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1–2 tsp. vegetable oil
• ½ large yellow onion, diced small
• ½ large green bell pepper, diced small
• ½ large red bell pepper, diced small
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 12 King’s Hawaiian rolls
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
• 12–16 slices mild provolone cheese, thinly sliced
• 3 Tbsp. melted butter
• Pinch of garlic salt
• Dash of Worcestershire sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef:
   • Trim excess fat from the ribeye or sirloin.
   • Freeze for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
   • Thinly slice the beef against the grain (thin slices are key!).
   • Season with Lawry’s seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Cook the Beef:
   • Heat 1 tsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the beef in batches, browning each side for about 2 minutes.
   • Remove cooked beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
   • In the same pan, add the diced onion and peppers with a pinch of kosher salt.
   • Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not mushy.
4. Prepare the Rolls:
   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Without separating, slice the rolls horizontally with a serrated knife.
   • Place the bottom half of the rolls in a 9×13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
5. Make Garlic Mayo:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and minced garlic.
   • Spread on both the top and bottom halves of the rolls.
6. Assemble the Sliders:
   • Layer half of the provolone cheese slices over the bottom rolls.
   • Add the cooked beef evenly on top.
   • Spread the onion and pepper mixture evenly over the beef.
   • Add the remaining cheese slices on top.
   • Place the top half of the rolls over everything.
7. Butter Topping:
   • Mix melted butter with garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Brush over the tops of the rolls.
8. Bake:
   • Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
   • Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until hot and melty.
9. Finish & Serve:
   • Brush with leftover butter mixture for shine.
   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
   • Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These sliders are the perfect combination of tender beef, gooey cheese, and soft rolls with a golden buttery topping. They’re crowd-pleasing, easy to assemble, and ideal for game days, parties, or family dinners.

Tips

• Freeze the beef briefly before slicing for ultra-thin cuts.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the meat—this keeps it tender and flavorful.
• Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Let the sliders rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing to prevent cheese from spilling out.

Variations and Substitutions

• Cheese Swap: Try mozzarella, white American, or cheddar instead of provolone.
• Rolls Alternative: Brioche slider rolls or dinner rolls work too.
• Veggie Boost: Add mushrooms for extra flavor.
• Spicy Kick: Mix a little hot sauce into the mayo or add jalapeños.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes—assemble the sliders up to 24 hours in advance, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

Can I use ground beef instead of steak?
Yes, though traditional cheesesteak uses sliced steak. If using ground beef, cook until browned and season well.

Do they reheat well?
Yes. Reheat in a 300°F oven, covered with foil, until warmed through.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with fries, potato wedges, or onion rings for a classic pairing.
• Add a side salad for a lighter option.
• Perfect as finger food at parties or game-day gatherings.
