Ingredients Notes

These sliders come together with just a few simple, high-quality ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

Hawaiian Rolls: These soft, slightly sweet rolls are the perfect base. They soak up the buttery topping and complement the savory beef beautifully.
Roast Beef: Thinly sliced deli-style roast beef works perfectly. For an elevated option, use leftover roast beef or make your own.
Cheese: Provolone is the classic choice, but Swiss or mozzarella also work well for that gooey, melty goodness.
Butter Topping: A mixture of melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and dried onion flakes adds incredible flavor to the tops of the rolls.
Au Jus: Use store-bought au jus mix or make a quick homemade version with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings.

You’ll also need a baking dish or sheet pan to assemble and bake the sliders.

How To Make These French Dip Sliders

These French Dip Sliders are quick and easy to assemble. Follow these steps for the perfect sliders:

Prepare the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them into individual rolls. Place the bottom half in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
Layer the Ingredients
Lay slices of roast beef evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with slices of provolone cheese, ensuring full coverage for maximum cheesiness.
Add the Top Layer
Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese and beef.
Make the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and dried onion flakes. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, making sure to coat evenly.
Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Prepare the Au Jus
While the sliders bake, prepare the au jus according to package instructions or make a homemade version by simmering beef broth with Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.
Serve and Enjoy
Remove the sliders from the oven, let them cool slightly, and slice along the seams. Serve warm with small bowls of au jus for dipping.

Storage Options

If you have leftovers (though they tend to disappear fast!), here’s how to store and reheat them:

Refrigerate: Store sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a low oven (300°F) to keep the rolls soft and the cheese melty.
Freeze: Wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Au Jus: Store leftover au jus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.

Variations and Substitutions

These sliders are delicious as is, but here are some ways to mix things up:

Cheese Options: Try cheddar, Havarti, or pepper jack for a different flavor.
Spicy Twist: Add a layer of sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of horseradish sauce for a little heat.
Veggie Addition: Include sautéed onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.
Garlic Bread Style: Add minced garlic and parsley to the butter topping for a garlicky twist.
Low-Carb Option: Swap the rolls for lettuce wraps or use low-carb slider buns.

No matter how you customize them, these sliders are guaranteed to be a hit!
