Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

Image for recipe: Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
Ready in: 50 mins
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients: 11

These sliders keep the party-roll format while moving the filling closer to a classic Philly cheesesteak: thinly shaved beef, griddled onions, and melted provolone. A short bake warms the rolls and sets the cheese without turning the steak into a casserole-style filling.

Ingredients

Filling

1 12
pounds ribeye steak, very thinly sliced
1 12
teaspoons kosher salt
1
teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2
tablespoons neutral oil, divided
1
large yellow onion, thinly sliced

Sliders

10
pieces slider roll, split
10
ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
2
tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. If the steak is not already shaved, freeze it until firm but not solid, about 20 minutes, then slice it as thinly as possible across the grain.
2. Season the sliced steak with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and the black pepper.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
4. Add the onion and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, then cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Transfer the onions to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean if any browned bits look too dark.
6. Raise the heat to high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
7. Spread the steak in the skillet in a thin layer and cook undisturbed until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
8. Flip and chop the steak lightly with a spatula, then cook just until no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes more.
9. Return the onions to the skillet and toss them through the steak.
10. Lay the provolone over the steak mixture, turn off the heat, and let it melt for 1 to 2 minutes.
11. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
12. Arrange the split rolls on a baking sheet and spoon the cheesy steak and onions evenly into them.
13. Close the rolls, brush the tops with melted butter, and cover the baking sheet loosely with foil.
14. Bake until the rolls are warm and the cheese is fully melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
15. Uncover and bake until the tops are lightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more.
16. Serve hot, cutting apart any attached rolls before serving.
