Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 2 lb. thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin
- 1 tsp. Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tsp. vegetable oil
Vegetables
- 1/2 large yellow onion, diced small
- 1/2 large green bell pepper, diced small
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced small
- Kosher salt, to taste
Slider Assembly
- 12 count King’s Hawaiian rolls
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 12-16 slices provolone cheese, mild, thinly sliced
Finishing
- 3 Tbsp. melted butter
- Pinch of garlic salt
- Dash of Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Trim any excess fat from the beef and freeze it for about 30 minutes to make thin slicing easier. Then slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Season the sliced beef evenly with Lawry’s seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the sliders later.
- Cook the Beef: Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches, allowing it to brown undisturbed for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the cooked beef with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate. Avoid overcrowding the pan or overcooking the meat. Add more oil as needed between batches.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the diced onions and bell peppers with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are fragrant and softened but still hold their shape, not mushy.
- Prepare the Rolls: Without separating the rolls completely, slice them horizontally with a serrated knife. Arrange the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mix mayonnaise with pressed garlic, and spread this garlicky mayo on the cut sides of both the top and bottom rolls.
- Assemble the Sliders: Layer half of the provolone cheese slices (6-8 slices) evenly on the bottom rolls. Add the cooked beef in an even layer, followed by the sautéed onion and pepper mixture. Top with the remaining provolone cheese slices, then place the top halves of the rolls on the sliders.
- Apply the Butter Topping and Bake: Stir together melted butter, garlic salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush the tops of the rolls with some of this mixture. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melty and the sliders are heated through. Brush the tops again with any leftover butter mixture for a shiny finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for an optional fresh herb garnish. Cut the slider buns apart and serve warm.
Notes
- The key to tender meat is slicing it thinly and cooking it quickly to avoid toughness.
- Use King’s Hawaiian rolls for a slightly sweet, soft slider bun that complements the savory fillings.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef to ensure proper browning.
- The garlic mayonnaise spread adds a flavorful punch and moist texture to every bite.
- These sliders are ideal for parties, game days, or casual get-togethers as a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
