# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook 6–8 minutes until soft and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a separate saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add sliced roast beef and warm through for 2–3 minutes. Remove beef with tongs, reserving broth for dipping.
04 - Slice slider rolls in half horizontally. Place bottom halves on prepared baking sheet. Spread with mayonnaise and horseradish sauce if desired.
05 - Layer warm roast beef evenly over buns. Top with sautéed onions, then add a slice of provolone cheese to each slider. Cover with bun tops.
06 - Brush tops lightly with melted butter if desired. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and rolls are slightly toasted.
07 - Serve sliders warm with hot au jus in ramekins for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or last minute gatherings
- The warm au jus transforms each bite into something that feels fancy enough for company but casual enough for family movie night
02 -
- Dont skip warming the beef in the au jus—cold roast beef straight from the package never tastes as good as beef that's had a chance to absorb those flavors
- The slider rolls can get soggy if you assemble them too far ahead, so wait until you're ready to bake before putting everything together
03 -
- If your slider rolls feel especially soft or fresh, toast the cut sides under the broiler for 1–2 minutes before assembling—this creates a barrier that prevents sogginess
- For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine or a sprig of fresh thyme to your au jus while it simmers, then strain before serving
