Essential Ingredients
Hereβs what youβll need to make this delicious dish:
- Slider Buns: Soft and slightly sweet buns work best; they soak up all that delicious juice without falling apart.
- Thinly Sliced Roast Beef: Choose quality deli meat for maximum flavor; it should be tender and juicy for optimal enjoyment.
- Sliced Provolone Cheese: Melty provolone complements the beef perfectly; feel free to mix cheeses for variety!
- Beef Broth: Use low-sodium broth for control over saltiness; it enhances the flavor of the meat during cooking.
- Dijon Mustard: A thin layer adds zing; it balances richness while elevating overall flavor profiles nicely.
- Butter: Melted butter brushed on top makes for a golden finish; add garlic powder for extra flair!
- Poppy Seeds (optional): Sprinkle on top for added crunch; they provide fantastic texture and a hint of nuttiness.

Letβs Make it together
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). While waiting for it to heat up, gather all your ingredients and get excited about the magic youβre about to create!
Create Your Slider Base: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally without separating them completely; think of it as making a cozy bun hammock for your fillings.
Add The Flavorful Layers: Spread Dijon mustard generously on each side of the buns before layering in the sliced roast beef and provolone cheese; let those flavors mingle!
Melt And Mix: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and mix in garlic powder if using. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the assembled sliders.
Poppy Seed Topping: If youβre feeling fancy (and I always suggest you do), sprinkle poppy seeds over the melted butter on top of your sliders for that extra touch.
Bake To Perfection: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes until everything is melty and divine; remove foil in last 5 minutes for that golden color we all crave.
Dipping Time! While baking, heat up beef broth in a small pot until simmering; this is what we call βthe dipβ β trust me, youβll want plenty of this liquid gold when serving!
Serve these scrumptious French Dip Sliders straight from the oven alongside your hot broth for dipping. Enjoy every bite as you relish those delightful flavors bursting in your mouth!
Now go ahead and invite some friends over because these sliders are best enjoyed togetherβtrust me on this one!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by searing the beef in a hot skillet, then let it rest while you prep the sliders. This sequence locks in flavor and ensures tender meat.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap out roast beef for turkey or even veggies for a vegetarian twist. Experiment with different cheeses like provolone or gouda to elevate your sliders.
Storing & Reheating
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat them in the oven at 350Β°F until warm to keep the bread crisp.
