Ingredients
Scale
- 680 g (1.5 lb) ribeye or top round, very thinly sliced
- 12 Hawaiian or slider rolls, split horizontally
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter, divided
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 200 g / 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 6 g)
- 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
- ½ tsp (1 g) black pepper, freshly ground
- 200 g (7 oz) provolone or American cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- Optional: 1 tsp (5 g) smoked paprika or 1 tbsp (15 ml) ketchup
Instructions
- Prep the meat and rolls: Remove the beef from the freezer when it’s firm but not rock solid and thinly slice into 2–3 mm slices. Split the rolls and set open-faced on a baking sheet.
- Cook the onions: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and kosher salt; sauté until translucent and starting to brown, about 8–10 minutes; add minced garlic in the last 60 seconds. Transfer onions to a bowl.
- Sear the beef: Increase heat to high, add remaining oil, and cook thin beef slices for 60–90 seconds per side until browned. Season with Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.
- Assemble the sliders: Preheat the broiler. Layer beef, onions, and provolone on the bottom halves of the rolls. Place top halves on loosely.
- Butter and brown the tops: Melt butter and brush on roll tops. Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden.
- Finish and serve: Remove from oven, let rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
Make-ahead by cooking beef and onions up to 24 hours ahead and store in airtight containers. Reassemble and broil on the day of serving.
