How To Make French Dip Sliders

INGREDIENTS

• Onion: Caramelized onions are one of the best parts of a French dip, IMO. Tip: I cook the onions for only 15 minutes on the stovetop because they'll continue to cook in the oven, so don't overcook before assembling your sliders!
• Thyme: Fresh thyme adds an earthy, fresh flavor to our onions that will benefit the sliders.
• Slider Buns: Really any slider buns will work beautifully in this recipe. If you want an extra-sweet and pillow-soft slider, go for Hawaiian sweet rolls.
• Roast Beef: While I use boneless ribeye steaks to make our classic French dip, I went with thinly sliced deli roast beef for these sliders for ease and convenience.
• Provolone: In my book, no French dip is complete without melty provolone cheese.
• Parsley & Garlic Powder: Don’t skip sprinkling your butter-topped buns with parsley and garlic powder. This combo will create a flavor bomb with every bite.
• Garlic, Thyme, Beef Broth & Worcestershire Sauce: Ah, the star of the show. We created the jus with just a few simple ingredients: garlic, (low-sodium) beef broth, Worcestershire and thyme. For ease, we left out the beef drippings, but trust us—it's every bit as flavorful for these sliders. Cooked down until reduced and slightly thickened, this simple sauce is an absolute dipping must.
  

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

First, preheat the oven to 350°. Then, we’ll make our quick caramelized onions. Melt butter in a skillet, then add the sliced onion and thyme sprigs before seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they’re caramelized. This should take around 30 to 40 minutes, but be careful not to overdo it—the onions will continue to cook in the oven. Once done, discard the thyme.

Slice your sliders in half, and place the bottom halves of the buns on a large baking sheet. Then, assemble your sliders by layering on the roast beef, cheese, and caramelized onions. Close with the top buns, then brush on melted butter. Sprinkle with parsley, garlic powder, and a bit of salt, then add to the oven.

While the sliders are cooking, we can make the jus. In the same skillet we cooked the onions, melt the remaining butter before adding the garlic. Cook until fragrant, then add the broth, Worcestershire, and chopped thyme—season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to the simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has slightly reduced. This should take around 10 minutes, but if you prefer it thicker, you can keep it going.

Bake your sliders until they are warmed through and the cheese is melty and delicious—this should take around 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with more parsley on top if you desire, along with the jus.

What To Serve With French Dip Sliders

These sliders would be an excellent filling addition to your game day appetizer spread, but if you'd prefer for the sliders to be the star of the show, serve these alongside roasted potatoes, sweet potato chips or coleslaw. Want a whole spread of sliders? Pair this with our ham and cheese sliders and pull-apart cheeseburger sliders to pull, share, and snack all game day long.
