How to Make French Dip Sliders

Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
  • 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian or brioche-style)
  • 6 slices Swiss or provolone cheese
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter (for sautéing onions)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley
  • 1 cup au jus (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

  1. Sauté Onions: In a skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until golden and soft. Set the onions aside.

  2. Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider rolls in half. Lay the bottom halves of the rolls in a baking dish. Top with roast beef, sautéed onions, and cheese. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.

  3. Brush & Bake: Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush it over the tops of the sliders. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Bake the sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.

  4. Serve: Slice the sliders and serve them warm with a side of au jus for dipping.

How to Serve French Dip Sliders

Serve the sliders warm on a platter with a bowl of au jus for dipping. They make great finger food and can be accompanied by chips, pickles, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

How to Store French Dip Sliders

If you have leftovers, store the sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but this may make the slider rolls a bit soggy.

Tips to Make French Dip Sliders

  • Use fresh rolls for the best texture.
  • Don’t overcook the onions; they should be just soft and sweet.
  • Feel free to add extra toppings like jalapeños or roasted peppers for an extra kick.
  • Make homemade au jus if you have the time; it enhances the flavors even more.

Variation

You can easily customize these sliders to fit your taste. Try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, or even mix in some BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor. Substitute roast beef with shredded beef or slow-cooked brisket for a different twist.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these sliders in advance?
A: Yes! You can assemble the sliders ahead of time and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Just bake them right before serving.

Q: What can I use if I don’t have au jus?
A: If you don’t have au jus, beef broth can be a good substitute. You can also mix water with soy sauce for added flavor.

Q: Are these sliders good for freezing?
A: Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked sliders. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them in the refrigerator and then bake as directed.
