These savory Philly cheesesteak sliders combine thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese on sweet Hawaiian rolls for a quick, crowd-pleasing snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 8 oz provolone cheese slices
  • 12 sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Slice ribeye steak as thin as possible (freeze for 30 minutes beforehand helps). Thinly slice onion and green bell pepper. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Caramelize the Onions (10-12 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally until golden brown and soft. Add bell peppers halfway through if using. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Steak (5-7 minutes): Add remaining oil to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add steak, season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Sauté until browned but still tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine Filling (2-3 minutes): Return caramelized onions and peppers to skillet with steak. Stir to combine and heat through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Assemble Sliders (5 minutes): Slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping bottoms intact if preferred. Layer steak mixture on bottom halves, top with provolone slices, then close with roll tops.
  6. Bake to Melt Cheese (10-12 minutes): Place sliders in baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and bake until cheese melts and rolls are warmed through.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then serve immediately.

Notes

Freeze steak for 20-30 minutes before slicing for easier thin cuts. Caramelize onions low and slow for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding pan to ensure proper browning. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter and garlic powder before baking for extra flavor. Do not overcook steak to keep it juicy. Sliders can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking. Reheat gently in oven to maintain texture.
