Mouthwatering Philly Cheesesteak French Dip Sliders merge classic sandwich flavors into irresistible mini bites. Melted provolone, tender roast beef, and caramelized onions nestled in buttery rolls promise a delectable experience you won’t forget.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 12 slider rolls (Kings Hawaiian recommended)
  • 1/2 pound (0.23 kilogram) deli roast beef (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 pound (0.23 kilogram) provolone or Swiss cheese (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions

Condiments and Seasonings:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon cream-style horseradish
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Butter and Jus Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups beef broth or stock (for jus)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for jus)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced, for jus)
  • 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for jus)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for jus)
  • 12 teaspoons roasted beef base (optional, for jus)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried, for jus)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (for jus)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice slider rolls horizontally, creating distinct top and bottom halves. Toast the cut sides under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Spread half of the zesty mayo-horseradish mixture evenly across the bottom roll halves placed in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Create a hearty layer by arranging half the cheese, followed by roast beef, caramelized onions, and the remaining cheese over the roll bottoms.
  5. Apply the remaining mayo-horseradish blend to the roll tops and carefully position them over the layered ingredients.
  6. Craft a flavor-enhancing sauce by combining melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Generously brush this mixture over the assembled rolls.
  7. Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-8 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.
  8. For the jus, sauté minced garlic in melted butter. If desired, briefly incorporate flour to create a richer base.
  9. Gradually whisk beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and beef base into the garlic mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes, season to taste, and strain to achieve a smooth, rich dipping sauce.
  10. Slice the sliders, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately alongside the warm, aromatic jus for dipping.

Notes

  • Toast rolls carefully to prevent burning, watching closely during broiling to achieve a perfect golden-brown color without charring.
  • Customize mayo-horseradish spread by adjusting heat levels for different flavor preferences, using more or less horseradish.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth for jus to control salt content, especially for health-conscious diners or those watching sodium intake.
  • Consider gluten-free alternatives like gluten-free rolls and cornstarch instead of flour for individuals with wheat sensitivities.
