Ingredients

12 Slider Rolls: Soft and fluffy, the perfect base for holding all the delicious fillings together.
1½ lbs Ribeye: Sliced thin, this juicy beef is rich and tender, bursting with flavor. (Ground beef can be used as a substitute).
2 Green Peppers: Roughly chopped, adding a sweet crunch and vibrant color to the dish.
1 Large Onion: Roughly chopped, providing a savory base with its aromatic sweetness when caramelized.
1 tbsp Onion Powder: Enhancing the onion flavor and adding depth.
2 Garlic Cloves: Minced, for that beautiful garlic aroma that elevates every bite.
1/4 cup Mayonnaise: Creamy and tangy, creating a delightful spread for the sliders.
4 tbsps Butter: Room temperature to melt beautifully over the warm sliders.
6 slices American Cheese: Melts easily, offering a classic cheese flavor that brings comfort.
6 slices Provolone Cheese: Creamy and slightly smoky, complementing the other cheeses perfectly.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings to boost flavors.
Sesame Seeds (optional): For added nuttiness and visual appeal.

Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat the Oven: Start by Preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your sliders will bake perfectly and achieve that golden-brown goodness.
Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, season your sliced ribeye with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Make sure each slice is coated evenly to bring out the robust flavor of the beef.
Cook the Steak: Drizzle olive oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak and cook until browned and just cooked through.
Sauté Vegetables: Add the onions and green peppers to the skillet with the steak, cooking until the onions are softened and caramelized—this should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat and mix in the American cheese until melted and combined.
Prepare the Sliders: Slice your slider rolls in half and place the bottom half on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture generously on both the bottom and top halves of the slider rolls.
Assemble the Sliders: Layer the warm steak and veggie mixture over the bottom halves of the rolls, then top with provolone cheese slices.
Top the Sliders: Place the top halves over the cheese. Cut butter into small slices and place them on top of the slider rolls. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds for an added crunch.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

For extra flavor, sauté the garlic with the steak for a deeper garlic taste.
Consider adding sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for an additional layer of flavor or heat.
If you prefer a crispy texture, toast the slider rolls lightly before assembling.

These Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are best enjoyed hot from the oven, paired with crispy baked fries, a side salad, or even a delicious coleslaw. Perfect for watching the game or serving at a weekend gathering, they are sure to be a hit among guests of all ages.
