Easy Philly Cheesesteak Sliders You Need to Try

If there’s one thing that gets my taste buds doing a happy dance, it’s the savory classic that is the Philly cheesesteak. Picture this:

tender, juicy slices of beef, gooey cheese, all tucked into a slider that’s almost too adorable to eat. Almost.

These Philly Cheesesteak Sliders are the kind of comfort food you didn’t know you needed—perfect for game day, or just a Wednesday.

Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add sliced onions and green peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft.
Add the shaved steak to the pan along with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use two forks to break apart the steak, cooking until it’s no longer red. Once done, set the pan aside.
Horizontally slice the sweet bread buns in half, keeping the 12-pack intact, and place them on a baking sheet. Evenly spread the cooked steak mixture over the bottom halves of the buns, then layer the provolone cheese slices on top and cover with the top halves of the buns.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, dried thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Generously brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.
Bake the sliders in the oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Cheesesteak sliders pair well with a variety of sides such as french fries, chips, onion rings, sweet potato fries, and tater tots, which are especially popular with kids.

For easier slicing of the ribeye steak, try freezing it for a short period before using a deli slicer or a sharp knife. This helps achieve thin, even slices that cook evenly.
When cooking the steak, use two forks to break apart the meat as it cooks. This prevents clumping and ensures each bite of the slider is filled with tender, well-distributed steak.
To enhance the flavor of the sliders, brush the tops of the buns generously with a mixture of melted butter, dried thyme, and Worcestershire sauce before baking. This adds a delicious savory topping and helps the buns achieve a golden finish.
