Servings: 12 sliders
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 slider buns, split
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper (green or red), thinly sliced
- 8 slices provolone cheese, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or hot sauce for extra flavor
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bottom halves of the slider buns on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they’re caramelized and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the thinly sliced ribeye steak over medium-high heat until it’s browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. If desired, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Arrange the cooked steak evenly over the bottom halves of the slider buns in the baking dish.
- Top the steak with the sautéed onions and peppers, spreading them evenly.
- Place the halved provolone cheese slices on top of the onions and peppers.
- Cover the sliders with the top halves of the buns.
- Bake the assembled sliders in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the buns are slightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Sliders warm, and enjoy these delectable bites!
Tips or Notes:
- Feel free to use your preferred type of cheese, such as American or mozzarella, to suit your taste.
- Customize the sliders by adding sliced mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
- Secure the sliders with toothpicks before baking to keep them from sliding apart while in the oven. Just remember to remove them before serving.
- Serve with a side of potato chips, fries, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
