The thinly sliced beef gives you that classic flavor. Use sirloin or ribeye for the best taste. The onion and bell pepper add sweetness and crunch. Provolone cheese melts beautifully, making every bite creamy. Slider buns hold everything together, perfect for small hands or big cravings. For added flavor, I recommend a good quality olive oil to sauté your veggies. Mayonnaise adds a rich touch to the buns. Garlic powder spices things up without being too much. Don’t forget salt and pepper to enhance the taste. If you want some heat, add sliced jalapeños to the mix. These ingredients make your sliders tasty and fun to eat! {{ingredient_image_2}} - Heat olive oil in a skillet until shimmering. This step prepares the pan for cooking. - Sauté onion and bell pepper until tender. This adds a sweet and savory flavor to your sliders. - Cook thinly sliced beef with seasonings. Use garlic powder, salt, and pepper for taste. Brown the beef for about 4-5 minutes. - Combine beef with vegetables in the skillet. Stir it well so all the flavors mix together. - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your sliders cook evenly. - Assemble sliders and layer ingredients. Start with the bottom buns, mayo, cheese, beef, and veggies, then more cheese on top. - Bake covered and then uncovered until cheese is bubbly. Cover with foil for the first 15 minutes, then remove it to let the cheese melt beautifully. - Choose the right cut of beef: For great sliders, I recommend thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye. These cuts have the right balance of flavor and tenderness. They cook quickly and stay juicy. Thin slices help the beef cook evenly and soak up the flavors. - Tips for achieving the best melt on the cheese: To get that perfect cheese melt, layer your provolone slices over the beef mixture. Bake the sliders covered first to trap heat. After 15 minutes, remove the foil. This helps the cheese bubble and brown nicely. You’ll get that gooey, delicious texture in every bite. - Presentation tips for sliders: Arrange your sliders on a big platter for a fun look. You can add fresh parsley or extra jalapeños for color. This makes the dish pop and looks great at any gathering. - Recommended sides to serve with cheesesteak sliders: Pair your sliders with crunchy pickles or crispy chips. You can also add a simple salad for freshness. These sides complement the rich flavors of the sliders and create a well-rounded meal. Pro Tips Slice Against the Grain: For tender beef, always slice against the grain. This helps break down the muscle fibers, making each bite more enjoyable. Choose the Right Cheese: Provolone is traditional, but feel free to mix in some mozzarella or even pepper jack for a twist on flavor and spice. Keep it Warm: If serving at a party, keep the sliders warm in a slow cooker on low heat. This ensures they stay gooey and delicious throughout the event. Customize Toppings: Don't hesitate to add your favorite toppings! Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or different peppers can enhance the flavor profile. {{image_4}} You can switch up the cheese for a new taste. Here are some great options: - Cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor. - Swiss cheese for a milder, nutty taste. - American cheese for extra creaminess. Feel free to play with the veggies too. Here are some tasty choices: - Mushrooms for an earthy flavor. - Zucchini for a fresh crunch. - Spinach for added nutrients. Want to amp up the flavor? Try these tips: - Add a pinch of paprika for warmth. - Mix in some Worcestershire sauce for depth. - Drizzle with hot sauce for a spicy kick. You can also try different buns. Here are some ideas: - Pretzel buns for a salty twist. - Whole wheat buns for a healthier choice. - Garlic bread for extra flavor.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper your choice of color, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 12 slider buns
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños for an extra kick

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, pour in the olive oil and heat over medium heat until it begins to shimmer.
  • Add the thinly sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the thinly sliced beef to the pan and season generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  • Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir everything together so that the flavors meld and the mixture is heated through.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves into a greased baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly.
  • Evenly spread the mayonnaise over the bottom halves of the slider buns, adding a creamy layer of flavor.
  • Place half of the provolone cheese slices over the mayo-covered buns, followed by the beef, onion, and pepper mixture. Then top with the remaining provolone cheese slices.
  • Carefully place the top halves of the slider buns over the layered ingredients.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes to heat through.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven. Slice the sliders into individual portions and serve warm. For an extra spicy touch, top with sliced jalapeños before serving if desired.

Notes

Arrange the sliders on a large platter, and garnish with fresh parsley or additional jalapeños for color and flair. Serve with a side of pickles or chips for a complete meal!
