Philly Cheesesteak Sliders (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
12 slider buns (dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls work well)
02 -
1 lb ribeye steak (thinly sliced or pre-sliced steak)
03 -
1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
04 -
1 bell pepper (optional, thinly sliced)
05 -
1 tbsp olive oil
06 -
Salt and pepper to taste
07 -
8 oz provolone cheese (sliced)
08 -
2 tbsp butter (melted)
09 -
1 tbsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers (if using). Cook over medium heat until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
04 -
Slice the buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom half of the buns in a baking dish.
05 -
Evenly distribute the cooked steak, onions, and bell peppers over the bottom half of the buns.
06 -
Layer the provolone cheese slices on top of the steak and veggies.
07 -
Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese.
08 -
Brush the melted butter over the tops of the slider buns and sprinkle with garlic powder, if desired.
09 -
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
10 -
Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Ribeye steak is the traditional choice for Philly cheesesteaks due to its tenderness and flavor. For a leaner option, use flank steak or sirloin. Pre-shaved steak can simplify preparation.
02 -
Provolone cheese is traditional, but alternatives like American or mozzarella cheese can be used for a milder or creamier texture. Pepper Jack provides a spicy kick.
03 -
Soft Hawaiian rolls or potato rolls are recommended for their sweetness and soft texture, but other soft dinner rolls or slider buns can also be used.
04 -
The cheesesteak filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Reheat it before assembling the sliders.
05 -
To freeze sliders, assemble them and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time when baking from frozen.
