  • Roast Beef Sliders

When youโ€™re hungry, but canโ€™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 youโ€™re ready to mix it up, try our Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders and these Ham and Cheese Hawaiian Roll Sliders. 

Why Youโ€™ll Love This Recipe

  • Family Friendly: We canโ€™t think of anyone who doesnโ€™t love gooey, melted cheese over their favorite deli meat, especially when itโ€™s inside a sweet Hawaiian roll. Leave off the onions for anyone who doesnโ€™t like them. 
  • Fun to Eat: Bite-sized anything is just more fun to eat. Plus, these easy roast beef and cheese sliders are the perfect party food to share with friends. 
  • Easy to Make: Our roast beef sliders recipe comes together quickly, making them a great option for a busy weeknight dinner. Plus, leftovers make for a delicious and filling lunch.

Ingredients

  • Kingโ€™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 donโ€™t have Italian seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, and basil.

See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

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, jalapeรฑos, 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 350ยฐF. 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. 
  1. 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 theyโ€™re caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  1. 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. 
  1. Step 4: Make the Butter Sauce: Melt the butter then stir in the Italian seasoning, black pepper, and onion powder until itโ€™s well combined. Brush the sauce over the top of the rolls. 
  1. Step 5: Bake the Sliders. Set the assembled sliders in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. 

Hint: Getting Tender & Juicy Meat

If youโ€™re purchasing roast beef from the deli counter, ask for a rare cut. This way, since the meat will be baked, it will stay tender and juicy.

Expert Tips

  • Avoid Soggy Leftovers: We wouldnโ€™t want these roast beef sliders on Hawaiian rolls to get soggy. To prevent that, let leftovers cool completely before storing them. 
  • Get Thinly Sliced Meat: Thinner slices of meat fold and stack more easily. 
  • Use a Serrated Knife: Use a serrated or bread knife to make quick and easy work of slicing the rolls.

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 350ยฐF oven, or a 350ยฐF air fryer, for 5 to 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave them in 10- to 20-second intervals until theyโ€™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.

Serving Suggestions

Our roast beef Hawaiian roll sliders can be enjoyed as a tasty lunch or snack, or even served as a dinner option. Theyโ€™re also perfect for serving at gatherings such as a tailgate party. Call your friends and divide up the menu.

  • You serve drinks and sliders and have your guests bring loaded fries, deviled egg pasta salad, crock pot little smokies, and smoked queso dip to round out the menu.
  • These sliders pair well with our Italian pasta salad, spaghetti salad and would make a filling dinner.
  • Dip your slider into our cottage cheese ranch dip.
