Equipment
- Baking sheet
- aluminum foil or parchment paper
- large non stick frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola or, or another neutral oil
- 1 medium or large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lb package shaved beef steak
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 12 ct package Hawaiian slider rolls, or other slider rolls
- 6 slices American cheese, such as Cooper Sharp Cheese ( I used Cooper Sharp Black Pepper American Cheese)
- 6 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoon butter, melted
- ½ tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Cut slider rolls in half, separating tops and bottoms (keep full set intact, so you have 2 sections).
- Place rolls cut side up on a cookie sheet, and place under oven’s broiler on high for 1-3 minutes, until lightly toasted (checking frequently to prevent burning).
- Transfer to parchment or foil lined baking sheet.
- Layer sliced provolone cheese on bottom buns, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat canola oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan. Add onions, and season with salt and pepper.Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, 8-10 minutes.
- Add shaved steak to pan, and season again with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up as you go, until all steak is cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer steak and onion mixture to bottom buns over provolone, leaving any excess liquid in the pan behind.
- Top with sliced American cheese, then with top layer of slider rolls.
- Whisk garlic and melted butter together, and brush top buns with melted butter garlic mixture.
- Sprinkle top of garlic butter rolls evenly with sesame seeds.
- Bake in preheated oven on parchment or foil lined sheet for 10-15 minutes, until just toasty and cheese is melted. Slice and serve hot!
Notes
Prevent soggy sliders: Toast the cut sides of the rolls before assembling, place provolone directly over the bottom rolls, and use a slotted spoon to transfer the steak and onions so excess liquid stays in the pan.
Don't overcook the steak: Shaved steak cooks quickly. Remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through to keep it tender.
Make ahead: Cook the steak and onions up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. Assemble and bake the sliders just before serving.
Ground beef option: Substitute lean ground beef for the shaved steak. Cook it completely and drain excess grease before assembling the sliders.
Cheese Whiz: For a classic Philly-style option, serve warm Cheese Whiz on the side for dipping rather than adding it directly inside the sliders.
