These French Dip Sliders are tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Thinly sliced roast beef is piled on soft slider buns, topped with melted cheese, and served with savory au jus for dipping. Perfect for game day, dinner parties, or a satisfying weeknight meal that feels special but is easy to make.
Ingredients
Slider buns: 12 soft small buns
Roast beef: 1 lb, thinly sliced (deli-style or leftover roast)
Provolone cheese: 6 slices (or Swiss cheese as a variation)
Butter: 2 tablespoons, softened (for toasting buns)
Garlic powder: ½ teaspoon (optional, for butter spread)
Onion: 1 small, thinly sliced (optional)
Beef broth: 2 cups (for homemade au jus)
Worcestershire sauce: 1 teaspoon (enhances au jus flavor)
Black pepper: To taste (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Slice the slider buns in half and butter lightly. Sprinkle with garlic powder if desired.
Layer roast beef on the bottom halves of the buns. Top each with a slice of provolone.
Place the slider halves on a baking sheet and cover loosely with foil. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cheese melts.
Meanwhile, prepare the au jus by heating beef broth with Worcestershire sauce and sliced onions in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.
Remove sliders from the oven and place the tops on the buns. Serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
Use thinly sliced roast beef for easier biting and even heating.
Toast the buns lightly to prevent them from getting soggy in the au jus.
Keep the au jus warm while serving to enhance dipping flavor.
Customize with caramelized onions or horseradish sauce for extra kick.
