👩‍🍳 How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

⭐ Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish.

This helps the sliders bake evenly and keeps the bottoms from sticking.

⭐ Step 2: Cook the Peppers and Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt a little butter.

Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and cook until they become soft, tender, and slightly caramelized.

This step builds so much flavor and gives the sliders that classic cheesesteak taste.

⭐ Step 3: Add the Steak
Add the thinly sliced steak or roast beef to the skillet with the peppers and onions.

If using roast beef, you only need to warm it through gently.

⭐ Step 4: Season the Filling
Season everything with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce if you like.

The Worcestershire adds a rich savory flavor that makes the filling taste even more like restaurant-style cheesesteaks.

⭐ Step 5: Prepare the Slider Rolls
Slice the slider buns or Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them individually.

Place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.

⭐ Step 6: Layer the Filling
Spread the steak, peppers, and onions evenly across the bottom buns.

Try to spread everything evenly so every slider gets plenty of filling.

⭐ Step 7: Add the Cheese
Lay provolone cheese slices across the top of the meat mixture.

Cover as much surface as possible so every bite gets melty cheese.

⭐ Step 8: Add the Top Buns
Place the top buns over the cheese layer.

⭐ Step 9: Make the Garlic Butter Topping
Melt butter and mix it with a little garlic powder.

Brush the tops of the buns generously with the buttery mixture.

This gives the sliders a rich flavor and helps the tops bake up beautifully golden.

⭐ Step 10: Bake Until Golden & Melty
Bake until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown and lightly crisp.

The sliders should look buttery, shiny, and irresistible.

⭐ Step 11: Rest Before Slicing
Let the sliders rest for a couple minutes before slicing.

This helps the cheese settle slightly and makes serving easier.

⭐ Step 12: Serve Warm
Slice into individual sliders and serve warm while the cheese is gooey and the rolls are soft and buttery.

Use pepper jack cheese for heat
