The dish your sister-in-law made is a classic Philly Cheesesteak Sliders recipe. What makes them “out of control” is the combination of sweet Hawaiian rolls, savory shaved beef, and a buttery garlic glaze that seeps into the bread as it bakes.
The “Secret” Ingredients
- 1 pack (12 count) King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 1 lb Shaved Beef (Look for “ribeye” or “sirloin” shaved steak in the meat aisle)
- 8 slices Provolone Cheese (Provides the classic melt and mild tang)
- The Glaze: 4 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried parsley, and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
The Method
1
Sear the Steak
5 minutes
In a very hot skillet, sear the shaved steak with plenty of salt and pepper. Don’t overcook it—just brown it quickly. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2
Prep the Rolls
Slab assembly
Slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally (keep them connected). Place the bottom slab in a baking dish.
3
Layer the Fillings
Cheese is the glue
Layer the cooked steak over the rolls, then cover with a solid layer of Provolone cheese. Place the top slab of rolls back on.
4
Glaze and Bake
15-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C)
Brush the garlic-butter glaze generously over the tops. Cover with foil for the first 10 minutes (to melt the cheese), then remove the foil for the last 5-8 minutes to toast the tops until golden.
The “Out of Control” Factor: If you want to make these exactly like the viral versions, sauté a thinly sliced onion and a green bell pepper in the beef drippings before adding them to the sliders. The sweetness of the caramelized onions against the salty beef is what makes them impossible to stop eating.
