French Dip Sliders

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Sliders:
    • Slice the slider buns in half, separating the top and bottom halves.
    • Place the bottom halves of the buns in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Assemble the Sliders:
    • Layer the bottom half of the buns with half of the sliced roast beef (about 1/2 lb). Top with 4 slices of provolone cheese (or your choice of cheese).
    • Add the remaining roast beef on top of the cheese, then place the remaining 4 slices of cheese over the beef.
    • Top with the top halves of the buns.
  4. Prepare the Butter Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
    • Pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the assembled sliders.
  5. Bake the Sliders:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sliders are heated through.
    • After 10-15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the tops of the buns.
  6. Prepare the Au Jus (optional):
    • While the sliders are baking, heat the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  7. Serve:
    • Once the sliders are done, remove them from the oven and cut into individual servings.
    • Serve the sliders warm, with the au jus on the side for dipping.
