Roast Beef Sliders

If you haven’t had the pleasure of eating our Roast Beef Sliders, you’re in for a treat. Sliders are such a fun finger food, perfect all by themselves or enjoyed with a simple side, like French fries. And the flavor profile is out of this world!

When you’re hungry, but can’t think of what to eat, make our roast beef and cheese sliders. Biting into a sweet, buttered roll filled with tender meat, savory garlic and onion, and tangy A1 sauce, melted together with sharp cheddar cheese will definitely satisfy your appetite.  

We have a couple more easy slider recipes that are equally as flavorful and enjoyable. When you’re ready to mix it up, try our Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders and these Ham and Cheese Hawaiian Roll Sliders. 

Ingredients

• King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls: While we use these soft, sweet rolls in our recipe, you can use any dinner roll. 
• Vegetables: Caramelized yellow onion and garlic add a savory flavor to the sliders. Use any onion you have on hand. 
• Cheddar Cheese: This cheese easily melts into a creamy layer. Muenster, Provolone, Colby Jack, or Monterey Jack would work just as well. 
• Sliced Roast Beef: This savory, juicy meat is a popular choice for sliders. Get it sliced at the deli counter or pick up a pack of deli style roast beef. You could even use leftover roast beef in this recipe. Other meat choices include ham, corned beef, or pastrami. 
• A1 Sauce: This savory sauce lends an umami flavor to the sliders. You could also use your favorite steak sauce instead or even some Worcestershire sauce. 
• Butter: Sweet, creamy butter is melted and seasoned, then brushed over the Hawaiian rolls, helping them turn from brown to golden perfection. You can use margarine or any butter substitute. 
• Seasoning: We use Italian seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper to season the melted butter. If you don’t have Italian seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, and basil.

Variations

• Texture and Crunch: Get rolls or buns with sesame seeds or poppy seeds to add a slightly crunchy texture to this roast beef slider recipe.
• Dip It!: Enjoy our easy roast beef sliders with au jus or dipped in horseradish sauce. 
• Add-Ons: Fill your slider with sliced pepperoncini, sauerkraut, jalapeños, or sauteed mushrooms. Spread deli style mustard or mayonnaise on the rolls before adding the meat, cheese, and onions. 
• Go Gluten-Free: Purchase deli meat that is labeled gluten-free, as many prepared deli meats contain gluten. And, of course, use your favorite gluten-free roll or bun. 

How to Make Roast Beef and Cheddar Sliders

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

1. Step 1: Cut the Rolls. Cut the Hawaiian roll in half, then place the bottom half of the rolls on the baking sheet. 

2. Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables. Slice the onions and mince the garlic. Then, in a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until they’re caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Step 3: Assemble the Sliders. Place the cheese slices on the bottom half of the rolls. Add the roast beef, caramelized vegetables, and A1 Sauce. Top it with a second slice of cheese, followed by the top half of the roll. 

4. Step 4: Make the Butter Sauce: Melt the butter then stir in the Italian seasoning, black pepper, and onion powder until it’s well combined. Brush the sauce over the top of the rolls. 

5. Step 5: Bake the Sliders. Set the assembled sliders in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. 

Storage Directions

• Storing: Tightly wrap leftover sliders in plastic wrap or foil. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 
• Reheating: Wrap the sliders in foil, then reheat them in a 350°F oven, or a 350°F air fryer, for 5 to 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave them in 10- to 20-second intervals until they’re warmed through. 
• Make Ahead: Assemble the sliders, wrap them tightly and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, then bake the sliders according to the recipe instructions.
