How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 pound beef shaved steak (or skirt steak)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ medium onion (sliced)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally in half to have a top and bottom piece. Place the bottom half in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ medium onion sliced, and 1 green bell pepper sliced. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 pound of shaved beef steak. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. The shaved beef cooks quickly. Add 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Layer the cooked beef on top of the rolls in the pan.
- Place the cooked onions and peppers on top of the meat.
- Top with the 6 slices of provolone cheese. Then, place the top half of the buns on.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Mix in ¼ teaspoon garlic salt and 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes.
- Brush the butter mixture on top of the buns using a basting brush.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are golden. Cut into individual sliders and serve warm!
How to Serve Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Serve Philly Cheesesteak Sliders warm straight from the oven. They are great on their own, but you can also pair them with sides like potato chips, fries, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. For added fun, set out a variety of dipping sauces like ketchup or barbecue sauce for guests to enjoy.
How to Store Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
If you have leftovers, store the sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
Tips to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
- For extra flavor, consider adding mushrooms or jalapeños to the filling.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can use pepper jack cheese instead of provolone.
- Make sure not to overcook the beef; it should remain tender.
Variation
You can easily customize this recipe by changing the type of cheese or using a different kind of roll. Some people prefer using hoagie rolls for a more traditional approach. You can also switch the beef for grilled chicken or even a meat-free option like mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes! You can use hoagie rolls, baguettes, or even mini bagels if you prefer.
2. How can I make these sliders ahead of time?
You can prepare the filling and assemble the sliders in advance. Just cover and refrigerate them. Bake them just before serving.
3. Can I freeze the sliders?
Yes! You can freeze assembled sliders. Wrap them well and store them in the freezer. Reheat directly from frozen, adding extra time to the baking process.
