Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Yields: 12 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes / Cook time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 14oz shaved beef steak
- 8 slices of provolone cheese
- 1 green pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 yellow onion, sliced into thin strips
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon onion soup mix
- Chopped parsley, optional for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the sliced onions and
green peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly
caramelized.
Add the shaved steak to the pan along with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt,
and pepper. Break the meat apart with two forks as it cooks to keep it from clumping.
Cook until no longer pink, then remove from heat.
Slice the sweet rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls attached as a sheet. Place the
bottom half on a baking sheet.
Evenly spread the steak and veggie mixture over the bottom buns.
Lay provolone cheese slices over the top of the steak, then place the top half of the buns back on.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and dry onion soup mix.
Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
Bake for 17–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve warm and enjoy!
FAQ
Can I use a different type of roll instead of Hawaiian sweet rolls?
Absolutely! While Hawaiian sweet rolls add a delicious touch of sweetness, you can substitute with any soft slider bun or dinner roll you have on hand.
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the sliders, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. When you’re ready to serve, just bake until warm and melty.
What’s the best way to caramelize the green peppers and onions?
Cook them slowly over medium-low heat with a bit of oil, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and golden brown—this usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Can I use a different cheese instead of provolone?
Of course! While provolone is classic, feel free to swap in mozzarella, American, or even cheddar for a tasty twist.
