‍ How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

⏱ Quick Overview

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 20 minutes

• Total Time: 35 minutes

• Servings: 12 sliders

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Ingredients
   Slice the steak, onion, and bell pepper thinly. If your steak isn’t pre-sliced, it helps to freeze it for 10–15 minutes before cutting for easier slicing.

2. Sauté the Vegetables
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, cooking for 5–7 minutes until softened and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the Steak
   In the same skillet, add the sliced steak. Cook for about 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Combine the steak with the sautéed vegetables.

4. Assemble the Sliders
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice your slider rolls in half horizontally (keeping the tops connected). Place the bottom halves in a baking dish. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise if desired.

   Evenly distribute the steak and veggie mixture over the bottom rolls, then layer the provolone slices on top. Add the top halves of the rolls.

5. Bake
   Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

6. Serve & Enjoy
   Let cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into individual sliders. Serve warm with chips, fries, or a dipping sauce of your choice!

What to Serve with Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

Pair your sliders with sides that complement their rich, cheesy flavor:

• Crispy sweet potato fries – for a sweet and savory balance

• Caesar or garden salad – to keep things fresh and light

• Creamy coleslaw – adds crunch and tang

• Dipping sauces – try garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or ranch

• Drinks: Lemonade, iced tea, or cold beer for the perfect pairing

Top Tips for Perfect Sliders

• Choose the Right Meat: Ribeye offers the best flavor and tenderness, but flank steak works great too.

• Caramelize Slowly: Take your time with the onions and peppers — slow cooking brings out their natural sweetness.

• Cheese Options: Provolone is traditional, but mozzarella, white American, or pepper jack are great too.

• Avoid Overstuffing: Keep fillings balanced for easier serving and better texture.

• Add a Butter Glaze: Brush the tops with melted butter and garlic for an irresistible golden finish.

❄️ Storing & Reheating

To Store:
Keep leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To Reheat:
