French Dip Sliders
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion thinly sliced
2 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 sweet rolls
10 slices provolone cheese
14 ounces sliced deli roast beef
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Dip Mix :
1/2 tablespoons dried onion soup mix
1 packet au jus gravy mix
3 cups water
fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the onions and coat in the butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes until the onions are soft and browned but not burnt.
Add the thyme, salt, and pepper, stir to combine, take off the heat, and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Take the rolls out of the package, leaving the rolls intact.
Take a large knife and slice the rolls across so you have the tops and bottom separated.
Place the bottom, cut side up into an 11×7 baking dish.
Top with half of the cheese.
Add the roast beef.
Top with the onions, spreading them out.
Add the remaining cheese, then add the tops of the rolls on top.
Dip:
In a small bowl stir together the melted butter and onion soup mix.
I like to brush this mixture on top of the rolls to make sure it’s evenly distributed but you can just pour the butter sauce on top.
Cover loosely with foil, you want to make sure the foil is not touching the tops of the rolls and bake for 25 minutes.
Take the foil off and bake an additional 5 minutes to brown the rolls.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the au jus per the package directions with the water.
Serve the rolls with an optional garnish of parsley and au jus on the side for dipping.
French Dip Sliders are not only delicious but also a great option for parties or family dinners. These sliders can be customized with various ingredients, such as different types of cheese or additional toppings like jalapeños or sautéed mushrooms, ensuring everyone can find a variation to their taste. For the au jus, consider adding a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for added depth of flavor. Many people enjoy serving these sliders with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad to complement the richness of the beef and cheese. Another popular variation is to use pulled pork or chicken instead of roast beef, which can also be incredibly flavorful when paired with the au jus. Feel free to experiment with dipping sauces, as some enjoy adding spicy mustard or barbecue sauce for a twist. Overall, French Dip Sliders are a crowd-pleasing choice that highlights the perfect balance of flavors and makes for an unforgettable meal.
