Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 lbs thinly sliced ribeye steak (or deli roast beef)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• ½ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• ½ green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 12 slider rolls (e.g., Hawaiian rolls)
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 12 slices provolone cheese
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

1. Cook the steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened and lightly caramelized, about 7–8 minutes.
3. Prepare the rolls: Without separating them, slice the slider rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
4. Assemble: Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides of the rolls. Layer half the cheese, followed by the cooked steak, sautéed vegetables, and the remaining cheese. Top with the upper half of the rolls.
5. Brush with butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush over the tops of the rolls.
6. Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve: Let cool slightly, sprinkle with chopped parsley if using, and slice into individual sliders.

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

Variations

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
