Ingredients Notes

The magic of Philly Cheese Steak Sliders lies in the balance of simple yet bold ingredients.

Beef: Thinly sliced ribeye steak is the traditional choice, but sirloin or flank steak also work well. For convenience, you can use shaved steak or deli roast beef.
Peppers and Onions: Green bell peppers and yellow onions add sweetness and a slight crunch. Red bell peppers are a great addition if you prefer a touch of color and extra sweetness.
Cheese: Provolone cheese is classic for Philly cheesesteaks, melting into a creamy, rich layer. Mozzarella or American cheese can be used for a different flavor.
Slider Rolls: Soft, sweet slider rolls, like Hawaiian rolls, complement the savory filling perfectly.
Butter Glaze: A savory blend of butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder takes these sliders to the next level.

No fancy equipment is required – just a skillet and a baking dish.

How to Make Philly Cheese Steak Sliders

Making these sliders is as easy as layering, sautéing, and baking. Here’s the step-by-step process:

Prep the Steak and Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using raw steak, slice it thinly against the grain for tender bites. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottom layer intact, and place the bottom half in a greased baking dish.
Cook the Filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and cook the sliced onions and peppers until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove the veggies and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the steak, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
Assemble the Sliders: Spread the cooked steak evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Top with the sautéed veggies, followed by a layer of provolone cheese slices. Place the top layer of rolls over the filling.
Add the Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, melt butter and stir in garlic powder, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, 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 15 minutes to melt the cheese. Uncover and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy: Let the sliders cool slightly before slicing them apart. Serve warm, and watch them disappear!

From start to finish, these sliders take about 30 minutes – perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Storage Options

If you’re lucky enough 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 in foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
Reheat: For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is highly versatile, so feel free to get creative:

Cheese Options: Swap provolone for mozzarella, cheddar, or even pepper jack for a spicier kick.
Veggie Additions: Add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
Protein Alternatives: Try using cooked chicken or even ground beef for a twist on the classic.
Spicy Upgrade: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a layer of spicy mayo for some heat.
Garlic Bread Rolls: Brush garlic butter on the rolls before assembling for a more robust flavor.
