These savory Philly cheesesteak sliders on soft Hawaiian rolls are quick, easy, and perfect for parties. The tender beef, melted provolone cheese, and sweet Hawaiian rolls create a comforting and crowd-pleasing handheld snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 soft Hawaiian rolls, sliced horizontally
  • 1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 810 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. If steak isn’t pre-sliced, freeze for about 30 minutes to firm up, then slice very thinly against the grain (about 1/8 inch thick). Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until golden and sweet. Add green peppers during the last 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high. In the same skillet, add thinly sliced steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not overcooked. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the meat as it cooks. Return onions and peppers to skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  4. Slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the block intact if possible. Place bottom half on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
  5. Spread steak and veggie mixture evenly over bottom half of rolls. Layer provolone slices over the meat.
  6. Place top half of rolls over cheese. Mix melted butter with a little garlic powder if desired, then brush generously over tops of rolls.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake sliders for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden. For a crispier top, broil for last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven, slice between rolls to separate sliders, and serve warm.

Notes

Freeze steak for 30 minutes before slicing to make thin slicing easier. Caramelize onions slowly for best flavor. Brush rolls with butter before baking for a golden crust. Assemble sliders on a baking tray and bake as a block to keep rolls moist and cheese melty. Sliders can be prepared ahead by cooking steak and veggies the day before and assembling before baking. For reheating, wrap in foil and warm in oven to avoid sogginess.
