Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Deli roast beef (shaved)
  • 12 oz Provolone cheese slices
  • 12 pieces King’s Hawaiian rolls
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted European butter
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dried minced onion
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Onion powder
  • 1 cup Beef consommé (or au jus mix)

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Serrated knife
  • Saucepan
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. You can also line the dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally without pulling them apart. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer half of the provolone cheese slices on the bottom half of the rolls. Add the shaved roast beef evenly over the cheese. Top the beef with the remaining provolone cheese slices.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls back onto the sandwiches. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
  5. Generously coat the tops of the rolls with the butter mixture. Make sure to get the glaze into the crevices between the rolls. Allow the rolls to sit for 10-15 minutes before baking to absorb the glaze.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10–15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
  7. While the sliders are baking, heat the beef consommé in a small saucepan over medium heat, adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Serve the sliders with individual ramekins of hot au jus for dipping.

Notes

These sliders offer a flavorful and hearty crowd-pleaser, ideal for parties, game-day events, or a family dinner. They balance textures beautifully with a golden, crisp top, gooey center, and a soft bottom.
