French Dip Sliders with Au Jus
These cheesy French Dip Sliders with Au Jus are a mini version of the classic sandwich, loaded with tender roast beef, gooey cheese, and served with a savory dipping sauce.
Ingredients
For the sliders
- 12 pack Hawaiian sweet slider rolls or King's Hawaiian soft and buttery
- 1 lb thinly shaved deli roast beef or leftover prime rib best quality you can find
- 8 slices provolone cheese or Swiss for sharper flavor
- 1 large sweet onion caramelized slowly
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder for topping
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce for topping
- 1 cup beef au jus from packet or homemade, warm for dipping
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt and pepper optional horseradish cream
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-low. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt; cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring, until deep golden and sweet.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Assembly
- Without separating the rolls, slice the entire pack in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a 9x13 dish.
- Layer half of the cheese, all of the roast beef (folded fluffy, not flat), caramelized onions, and the remaining cheese.
- Place the top buns on.
Baking
- Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Worcestershire. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then uncover for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
- Heat the au jus in a small saucepan while the sliders bake.
Serving
- Cut the sliders into 12 pieces with a serrated knife. Serve immediately on a platter with warm au jus in a bowl for dipping.
Notes
Make ahead of time by assembling sliders up to 6 hours before baking. Perfect for parties. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
