Sliders
- 2 cups yellow onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (cut horizontally)
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- 1 pound deli roast beef or leftover roast beef, (thinly sliced)
Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon poppyseeds
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a 9×13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Caramelize Onions. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, and salt and pepper to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to cook for 10-12 minutes or until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
- Prepare Rolls. Cut the rolls horizontally in half. Place the bottom of the rolls onto the baking sheet.
- Layer Cheese and Beef. Place 6 slices of provolone cheese on the rolls. Top the cheese with the roast beef.
- Add Onions and Top Cheese. Top the roast beef with the caramelized onions. Top the onions with 6 slices of cheese. Add the top of the rolls to the sliders.
- Make Butter Mixture. To a bowl add 3 tablespoons of melted butter, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and garlic powder. Mix until combined.
- Brush and Cover. Use a pastry brush to brush the butter mixture on top. Cover the top of the rolls with an aluminum foil tent.
- Bake Sliders. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and top with poppy seeds and fresh parsley.
Notes
- Use leftover roast beef or deli roast beef for ease and flavor.
- Be careful not to burn the onions while caramelizing by reducing heat to medium-low after initial sauté.
- Covering the sliders with foil during baking helps retain moisture and melt the cheese evenly.
