Description
Easy French Dip Sliders are a delightful combination of savory roast beef, melted provolone cheese, and sweet caramelized onions, served with au jus for dipping.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 sweet rolls
- 10 slices provolone cheese
- 14 ounces sliced deli roast beef
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried onion soup mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 3 cups water
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and coat them in the butter.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes until the onions are soft and browned but not burnt.
- Add the thyme, salt, and pepper, stir to combine, take off the heat, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take the rolls out of the package, leaving them intact. Slice the rolls across.
- Place the bottom of the rolls, cut side up, into an 11×7 baking dish. Top with half of the cheese.
- Add the roast beef. Top with the onions, spreading them out. Add the remaining cheese, then add the tops of the rolls on top.
- In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and onion soup mix. Brush this mixture on top of the rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
- Take off the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes to brown the rolls.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the au jus per the package directions with the water.
- Serve the rolls with an optional garnish of parsley and au jus on the side for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to properly caramelize the onions for a richer flavor. Use fresh rolls for the best taste and texture. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite toppings or different cheeses.
