Ah, Homemade Philly Cheesesteak Sliders—basically all the gooey, savory goodness of a Philly cheesesteak, but in mini sandwich form perfect for parties, weeknights, or just selfish snacking. Here’s the breakdown:
Ingredients
-
Steak – Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin works best.
-
Rolls or slider buns – Soft mini buns that can soak up the juices.
-
Cheese – Provolone, American, or Cheez Whiz (classic Philly style).
-
Onions & bell peppers – Sautéed until sweet and tender.
Optional extras: mushrooms, garlic, hot peppers, or a little mayo/mustard on the buns.
Basic Steps
-
Prep the steak: Slice thin (freeze briefly to make slicing easier).
-
Sauté onions and peppers: Cook until soft and slightly caramelized.
-
Cook the steak: Quickly sear in a skillet with a bit of oil, then combine with onions and peppers.
-
Assemble sliders: Place steak mixture on buns, top with cheese.
-
Melt cheese: Either under a broiler for 1–2 minutes or cover skillet with a lid to steam-melt.
-
Serve hot: Optional: brush buns with melted butter or garlic butter for extra richness.
Why Sliders Rock
-
Mini size = less filling but more fun.
-
Perfect for parties, game day, or casual dinners.
-
Easy to customize: mushrooms, peppers, or spice.
-
Can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
If you want, I can give you a super simple sheet-pan version that cooks all the sliders together, melts the cheese perfectly, and keeps cleanup minimal.
