Ingredients for Easy French Dip Sliders

For the Sliders:

  • 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls work well)
  • 1 pound deli roast beef (thinly sliced)
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

For the Au Jus (Dipping Sauce):

  • 1 (10.5-ounce) can beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Easy French Dip Sliders

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Assemble the Sliders

  • Without separating the rolls, slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Layer half of the provolone cheese over the bottom rolls.
  • Evenly distribute the roast beef on top of the cheese, followed by the remaining cheese slices.
  • Place the top half of the rolls over the layers.

Step 3: Make the Butter Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4: Brush and Bake

  • Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with dried parsley, if desired.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5-8 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Prepare the Au Jus

While the sliders bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the sliders from the oven, slice them into individual portions, and serve with warm au jus for dipping.
