Beef sliders are the ultimate crowd pleaser! Whether it’s game day, a lazy Sunday, or just a quick weeknight meal, these little sandwiches pack a big punch of flavor. Plus, they’re super easy to make and hard to resist. I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, and trust me, you can’t have just one!
Method
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Preheating is important because it ensures even baking from the moment the sliders go in.
Cook the Beef
In a frying pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips. Let the beef cook halfway through before adding the sliced peppers, onions, and steak seasoning. Stir occasionally to make sure the beef cooks evenly and the vegetables soften. The steak seasoning will give the meat a flavorful kick, while the onions and peppers add a hint of sweetness. Continue cooking until the beef is tender and the vegetables are nicely cooked. Once done, remove from the heat and set aside. Allowing the beef to rest for a few minutes helps retain its juiciness.
Prepare the Buns
Take the butter buns and carefully slice them in half, creating a top and bottom bun. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each bun. This step adds moisture and a slight tangy flavor to balance the richness of the beef.
Assemble the Sliders
Take the bottom half of each bun and place the beef and veggie mixture on top. Be generous with the filling to make sure each slider is packed with flavor. Next, add a slice of provolone cheese over the beef. The cheese will melt during baking and hold the filling together. Cover with the top half of the bun, pressing gently to secure.
Prepare the Butter Topping
In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, crushed garlic, and dried parsley. Mix well to create a smooth, flavorful topping. Using a basting brush, spread this mixture evenly over the tops of the buns. The buttery topping will give the sliders a delicious golden crust while adding a touch of garlic flavor.
Bake
Place the assembled sliders on a baking tray. Make sure they are spaced slightly apart to ensure even browning. Put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on the sliders during baking; they are ready when the cheese is melted, and the buns have a golden, toasty color.
Serve
Once out of the oven, let the sliders cool for a minute before serving. This helps the cheese set slightly, making the sliders easier to handle. Serve them warm and enjoy!
