Ingredients Notes

Simple ingredients come together to create these flavorful sliders:

Roast Beef: Thinly sliced deli roast beef is quick and easy, but leftover roast beef works wonderfully too.
Cheese: Provolone cheese is classic for French dip, offering a creamy melt and mild flavor. Swiss or mozzarella are great alternatives.
Slider Rolls: Soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls provide the perfect base, balancing the savory flavors.
Au Jus Mix: A store-bought au jus mix is a convenient choice, or you can make your own with beef broth and seasonings.
Butter Glaze: A mix of butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder gives the rolls a golden, savory finish.

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

How to Make French Dip Sliders

Making these sliders is simple and quick. Here’s the step-by-step process:

Prepare the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottoms intact. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish.
Layer the Ingredients: Arrange the roast beef evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. Add a layer of provolone cheese slices. Place the top layer of rolls over the filling.
Brush with Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, melt butter and mix in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and optional dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
Bake to Perfection: Cover the sliders loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Prepare the Au Jus: While the sliders bake, prepare the au jus according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sliders apart, serve with warm au jus for dipping, and enjoy the irresistible flavors!

These sliders are ready in just 30 minutes, making them perfect for any occasion.

Storage Options

If you happen to have leftovers, here’s how to store and reheat them:

Refrigerate: Store the sliders in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze: Wrap individual sliders tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. If frozen, let them thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions

These sliders are versatile, so feel free to experiment:

Add Onions: Sautéed onions add a sweet, savory flavor and pair beautifully with the roast beef.
Include Mushrooms: Add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist.
Spice It Up: Add a layer of horseradish sauce or spicy mustard for extra zing.
Cheese Swap: Try cheddar, Swiss, or Havarti for a unique flavor profile.
Garlic Bread Style: Brush the rolls with garlic butter instead of the classic glaze for a bold, garlicky finish.
