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)
- 1–2 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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Spread half of the zesty mayo-horseradish mixture evenly across the bottom roll halves placed in the prepared baking dish.
- Create a hearty layer by arranging half the cheese, followed by roast beef, caramelized onions, and the remaining cheese over the roll bottoms.
- Apply the remaining mayo-horseradish blend to the roll tops and carefully position them over the layered ingredients.
- 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.
- 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.
- For the jus, sauté minced garlic in melted butter. If desired, briefly incorporate flour to create a richer base.
- 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.
- 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.
