Delicious and easy-to-make French Dip Sliders feature tender thinly sliced roast beef, melted provolone or Swiss cheese, and soft slider buns served with a savory beef au jus for dipping. Perfect for parties, game days, or casual meals, these sliders combine juicy beef and gooey cheese with toasted buttery buns to create a flavorful and satisfying bite-sized sandwich experience.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced roast beef (about 1 pound)
  • Soft slider buns (12 count)
  • Provolone or Swiss cheese slices (12 slices)
  • Beef au jus or broth (2 cups)
  • Butter (2 tablespoons, softened)

Flavor Enhancers

  • Garlic powder or fresh garlic (1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced)
  • Dijon mustard or horseradish (optional, 1-2 tablespoons)
  • Worcestershire sauce (1 teaspoon, for au jus)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Buns: Spread softened butter mixed with garlic powder evenly on each side of the slider buns. Toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven until they turn golden brown and crisp, adding flavor and preventing sogginess from the au jus.
  2. Warm the Roast Beef: Gently heat the thinly sliced roast beef in a skillet or microwave just until warm and tender, avoiding overcooking to keep the meat juicy.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Place warmed roast beef on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top each with a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese, then close the slider with the top bun half.
  4. Melt the Cheese: Arrange the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and place under a broiler or in a warm oven until the cheese fully melts over the beef, creating a creamy and delicious layer.
  5. Prepare the Au Jus: In a small saucepan, simmer beef broth with Worcestershire sauce and optional garlic to enrich the flavor. Keep hot to serve as a dipping sauce.
  6. Serve and Dip: Plate the sliders with small bowls of warm au jus for dipping. Encourage guests to dunk each slider for the classic French Dip experience.

Notes

  • Use quality fresh, thinly sliced deli roast beef or leftover roast beef for best flavor and tenderness.
  • Do not soak the buns; instead, toast them with butter to maintain crispness when dipped.
  • Serve sliders immediately while warm and cheese is melted for optimal taste.
  • Warm the au jus thoroughly before serving to keep sliders juicy and flavorful.
  • Customize cheese types and toppings according to your preference.
