French Dip Sliders

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2: Caramelize the Onions

1. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, until the onions are soft and caramelized. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Rolls

1. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping them attached, and place the bottom half in the baking dish.
2. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of the rolls.

Step 4: Layer the Sliders

1. Place a slice of provolone cheese on each roll. Layer the roast beef evenly on top of the cheese, followed by the caramelized onions.
2. Add another slice of provolone cheese on top of the onions. Place the top half of the rolls back on.

Step 5: Make the Sauce

1. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls.

Step 6: Bake the Sliders

1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 7: Prepare the Au Jus

1. While the sliders are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8: Serve and Dip

1. Cut the sliders apart and serve hot with a side of warm au jus for dipping. Enjoy!
