Ingredients

• 1 lb beef (such as ribeye or sirloin), thinly sliced (find beef at Amazon Fresh)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 slider buns
• 8 oz provolone cheese (or cheese of your choice), sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions (and bell pepper if using) and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are softened and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 2: Cook the beef
In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced beef. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through. If you like your beef a little crispy around the edges, let it sit in the skillet for a bit before stirring.

Step 3: Combine the beef and vegetables
Once the beef is cooked, add the sautéed onions and bell peppers back into the skillet. Stir everything together so the beef is mixed with the vegetables.

Step 4: Prepare the buns
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice your slider buns in half horizontally, but do not separate them. Arrange the bottom half of the buns in a baking dish.

Step 5: Assemble the sliders
Evenly distribute the beef and vegetable mixture over the bottom half of the buns. Lay slices of provolone cheese on top of the beef. Cover with the top half of the buns.

Step 6: Bake the sliders
Brush the tops of the buns with the melted butter for a golden finish. Place the assembled sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are lightly toasted.

Step 7: Serve
Remove the sliders from the oven and slice them along the lines of the buns. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.

Variation Tips

• Add Mushrooms: For a classic Philly cheesesteak twist, sauté some mushrooms along with the onions and peppers. This adds an earthy flavor and extra texture to your sliders.
• Cheese Options: If you’re not a fan of provolone, you can use American cheese, Swiss cheese, or even cheddar for a different flavor profile.
• Spicy Twist: Add a bit of heat by incorporating jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the beef mixture.
• Make It Healthier: If you’re looking for a lighter version, use lean beef or switch to ground turkey for a leaner protein. You can also use whole wheat slider buns for added fiber.
• Add Pickles: For extra crunch, top your sliders with pickle slices before serving. The tangy flavor will complement the richness of the beef and cheese.
