Let's dive into the creation of these easy Italian Roast Beef Sliders.
Start by preheating the oven to 350°F and coat a baking dish with non-stick spray.
‘Tis the Seasoning
What's the secret to making these roast beef sliders delicious? The seasoning! Whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire, HEINZ mustard, Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, and onion powder. This mixture elevates the sliders with layers of flavor. Melted butter is the foundation of these delicious sliders. The butter has a soft, creamy texture with rich flavor that helps to balance the other ingredients. Worcestershire sauce adds greater depth to the flavor with its umami taste. HEINZ yellow mustard brings that tangy, zesty kick to the mixture. Italian seasoning is a medley of various herbs. It introduces a layer of complexity to the mixture. Garlic powder permeates the mixture with an aromatic allure, while the onion powder has a subtle savory undertone that ties all the flavors together.
Let’s Roll
Slice the King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls into two large halves, leaving the rolls interconnected. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
Next, assemble the layers of your Italian Roast Beef Sliders. Begin by placing your thinly sliced roast beef on the bottom half of the sweet rolls. Follow with the Provolone cheese, then add some pepperoncini.
Scoop a generous amount of your Italian seasoning mixture and place it over the cheese, then top everything off with the other half of the rolls. Brush melted butter over the top of the rolls and evenly sprinkle it with poppy seeds.
Place the layered sliders in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Watch as the Provolone cheese melts, and the tops become toasty with a delicious crispiness.
Slicing and Serving
After baking, slice the sliders to reveal the intricate layers—a visual feast. Serve on a platter during a party or individual plates during a sit-down meal. Enjoy!
